Bad webcomics

Meanwhile Rich Burlew makes such good shit that no one's even mad when it takes him a year to update (only applies to OOTS).

I used to feel this way but then the years kept going. Look at this, it's pathetic.

His Patreon account numbers 4,665, and memberships are either $2 or $5 per month. Garbage tier grifting from a lazy artist of a quality comic.

I've been saying, 21 pages a year for a story-driven stick figure comic with thousands of pages that could've been wrapped up YEARS ago is utterly laughable work ethic that I never see called out more often.

Imo order of the stick outlived its era. I feel burlew must be a shut-in and seems pretty out of touch these days. The references and the atmosphere worked at the time but it just doesn't land for me at all anymore. I want to see how it ends but honestly I dont per-se like it as a comic.

Tbh especially when you factor in he has poseable vector models of the characters so in theory its really easy for him to make a page

People had patience with creators fifteen years ago when OOTS was newer, but the economy has turned to shit and everyone has to work harder for less, besides the earlier days of crowdfunding where backers were burned by unmet goals. There just is no excuse for this level of output for so much compensation. He just released Dim Sun, a comic special. Why don't you finish your main fucking story for your backers. Maybe I'd be a patron if his work ethic wasn't absolute trash.

D&D released two editions since the comic started. The first page was a gag on stats upgrading to 3.5.

Nothing interesting is happening. Well, lots of interesting stuff is happening, but it's so slow it feels like nothing ever changes. The story can't keep momentum, and the goofs and gags aren't charming or funny enough to cover for the snail's pace anymore.

Yeah that's inexcusable. I don't care about a hand injury or whatever bullshit excuse. This isn't hard labor. Drag your worthless sack of fatass self out of bed and get to fucking work.

This seems to be the trend anytime a comic goes patreon.

I'll say this for the PennyArcade fags:
Their comic is often dogshit, gamer humor is the lowest fruit, Gabe traces a ton of shit, the arc has gone to shit and somehow keeps getting worse, its been almost two full decades since they've done anything remotely inventive with the comic, etc etc etc
But while managing a charity, booting a convention series (that is now well away of them, granted), raising families.... they still put out 3 comics a week.

Hell, Buckers still puts out 3 a week.

PennyArcade

The Rapewolves really did get the last laugh in the end when it comes to PennyArcade. I can't believe how different, and shit, the artstyle is now.

Do Pigbald even make the newer strips? I remember these guys having interns or underlings make their strips. It's lost in time, but a while back Pigbald got into some trouble with a job listing because somebody exposed how awful it was to work with them (over 70 hours a week, no decent pay, get rewarded with video game time and maybe a meal with Pigbald, etc).
