    I’m out of the loop. Why?

      He sent dick pics to an underaged girl, held a charity drive and used the proceeds to buy himself a fancier drawing tablet, and he treats his fans like garbage.

      Not to mention Loss, which is now a meme of its own, because what better way to express the severity of a situation as traumatic as miscarriage than through a silly webcomic?

        I mean, for someone whose primary way of expressing themselves to the world is via webcomics, I think that drawing a webcomic about your trauma is a reasonable response to the grief. Everyone grieves in their own way, and Loss in particular was a stand out because it’s so very different to the rest of CAD. There’s no dialogue. There’s no silly joke. It is obvious to the reader that something awful has happened here. Using art to cope with grief is a tradition as old as art.

        The rest of it though, yeah, fuck Tim Buckley. I just don’t really agree with the internet-wide dunking that the original Loss comic was given. It was obvious to me at the time that the man was grieving, and I kind of feel bad that that expression of genuine grief was turned into a meme that people still joke about 16 years later.

        Thanks (and thank you @[email protected] for asking). I was hittin’ Google trying to figure out why this was a sentiment, other than just because CAD, and it was just returning what I already knew: CAD is BAD.

        You beat me to it, because I was looking for evidence to support the dick pics thing. I can’t find any source I would be comfortable vouching for. Just a grain of salt there.
