Didn't even make me grin.. ugh.. This is a joke that was funny during the first 6 months of WoW, maybe, good for a chuckle. 4 years later?

Yeah, you don't get to just chastise us for being frustrated when it's been going on for years, now. Whether or not we are artists ourselves is irrelevant. Whether or not we can produce anything better is irrelevant. Whether we are paying for it or not is irrelevant.

What matters is this - a person has declared an update schedule, and then continues to break it. Kurtz has done this for years now - work starts to lag, he makes a promise, then fails to live up to it.

Would any artist who has NOT been around for years be able to get away with this? Hell no. The only reason he can is because of the early years when he actually KEPT his promises and maintained some semblance of professionalism in his work ethic. While other newer artists are struggling to gain even a fraction of the audience he takes for granted, he pisses all over his again and again.

So stop acting like everyone's dad by looking down on us and claiming we have nothing to complain about. Some of us have financially supported his work, some of us haven't, but that's irrelevant anyway. If you can't maintain an update schedule, you shouldn't make the claim that you can. At some point, a guy like that needs to be called on his bullshit, and the sheer number of people doing so now proves that we have a point.

Updates faithfully every day? Is that a joke?

Listen, people.. the reason why so many people bitch and moan is because kurtz is taking his long-standing fan base for granted. I happily read PvP every morning (yes, he actually updated in the morning back in the day) for almost 5 years, before this "Fame = Laziness" bullshit started to take hold.

Now he's down to M-F on PvP (although results may vary, sometimes only 3-4 a week), those updates usually go up on the evening, and he doesn't even write or draw ding.. which begs the question, why is his name even on it? Because he's the guy these people send their ideas to?

I bought collections of his old strips, and even a few Image issues, so yeah, I have "clearance" to bitch. Plenty of other artists bust their asses to get even a FRACTION of the readership that kurtz takes for granted every day. He pissed away whatever loyalty he earned in his early years, so to all of you self-righteous ass-kissers who go on and on about "it's free stfu", you don't know what you are talking about.
