I had no idea that Tim Buckley was still alive
I'm amazed that his reputation is still intact, and that he still gets a loyal following. I would've thought he'd take the money he's made and find a corporate art job somewhere by now.
Did he do/say something that should have trashed his reputation? I used to read Ctrl+alt+del like 15 years ago (I recent found my signed copies of the first two hardcover collections) but I haven't followed in forever.
I could be wrong but I think it was just a combo of people growing tired of his copy+paste art, overdone humor, and the fact he used his wife’s miscarriage for content in a humor comic. I don’t wanna tell someone how to grieve but it doesn’t really seem like a subject for a funny comic strip.
There were some serious allegations made that he'd sent a pic of his dick to an underage girl, leading to something crazy like 60% of people being banned from his own forums.
Why, I'd rather be beloved for my angry alcoholic blender.
