I get home, check BSS, and see 14 new posts here. Holy poo poo, did Rich recover that fast?

Nope.

Might as well toss my fuel into the fires of this furnace of unfulfilled expectations. It's like an ouroboros of disappointment, continually growing with every cycle.

I do wish we were getting more updates on thumb status. It's comical how perfectly it was timed to stop all the kickstarter comics.

It's lucky he didn't gently caress his thumb just after kickstarter finished, that would have been seriously terrible for the guy. As it is we can just put our hopes and dreams on ice as his tendon regrows.

So:

Basically what happened yesterday is i drank an entire bottle of whiskey, stabbed myself in the hand (not my drawing hand), had some kind of delirious breakdown in the hospital, got stitched up and sent back home.

Today I go to see the hand surgeon about my hand and a therapist about my emotions.

I guess something like this was bound to happen eventually. The monsters finally caught up. But at least I am ok. I feel very, very bad about all of this and would really like to apologize. I'm sorry.

There will be some guest comics for a few days. Thank you again for your patience.

VVVV Is that why he did it? :stare:

Jeph Jacques, the Questionable Content guy.

Apparently out of reaction at people calling him a horrible person because one of his character isn't fat enough to please obesity fetishists.

This is the Internet. This is what it does.

But you are a person, and I can't say I'm awfully fond of that.
No, he's had problems with both depression and I believe incipient alcoholism. He quit drinking a while back, but evidently backslid.

I mean, the comic situation might have been a contributing factor, but it was not the be-all end-all reason why he did it.

Eh, that's not exactly what happened.

In a nutshell - Jeph created a character, Marigold, who was depicted as a video-game playing shut-in with self-image issues. She quickly became a fairly popular character among the Tumblr crowd, partially (I suspect) because those folks identified with her to some degree. Then Jeph did a comic showing Marigold in a bikini, where it was revealed that there was nothing really wrong with her body at all, aside from being slightly curvy. Some Tumblrites over-reacted to this development, and sent Jeph angry letters and such. Sadly, this turned out to be the straw that broke the camel's back for Jeph, and he stabbed himself in the hand.

Don't forget that he had recently quit smoking cold turkey. And quit drinking not long before that.

Why are we talking about Questionable Content (A bland, if regular and reliable comic) when there are more comics more related to OOTS, like Rusty and Co?

Rusty, Mimic and 'Cube have once again joined up with Madeline the Paladin, this time against a bunch of Hipster Vampires.
