I'll be honest aaron, it's stupendously hard to care anymore.
The comic is great, you are great, but your internet hermitage just keeps going and going. 7 missed deadlines per comic, bizarre and meaningless announcements, and always the implications that you are working on secret amazing projects that never seem to get any closer much less arrive... And the Hob milking.

I hope you realize for every raving fan you have, you miss out on three or four for lack of updates. You'd do much better business if you could perhaps simultanously develop a hob book and make more comics. 4 or 5 over the last half year is a joke, I just can't bring myself to stay interested in something so frequently disappointing.

Best of luck, hope you shape up and treat your fans right someday, or heck, don't and stop trying to make money off them.

I certainly won't miss the sense of entitlement some folks here seem to have. I work 700 hours a day making a free comic, and I certainly don't need a place where people can get together and bitch about how it's not on time. I've never asked for anyone's money, much less forced anyone to pay me. If you don't like my twitter updates, then don't follow them. If you don't like my RSS feed giving you "useless" updates, then stop subscribing. I'm sorry my basement flooded and ruined the set we spent months building, setting back the free show I was making for you. I'm sorry my financial success doesn't align with your view of how a comic should make money, or treat its audience.

Honestly, I'm getting rid of the forum because I'm sick of giving people like you a false sense of relevance.
