Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
Any QC-like comics on the interwebs?
Storel:
And that's all fine, but it sure would have been nice if she'd just explained any of that on the Templar AZ page, to let readers know what was going on. :x Until you said that, all I knew was that I keep going back to Templar, AZ every month or two and finding nothing new. Thanks for nothing, Spike.

It's a free comic that she's posting online. While it would have been nice to have said something on the page, it's been all over her twitter and various other places. I find it kind of hard to get upset about her putting something she does for free on hold.
Carl-E:
Considering her twitter feed is right there on the page, and she's mentioned poorcraft in some of the newsposts with the comic, I thought it was pretty obvious.
Doesn't mean I don't get my hopes up for an update when I check it, though... Pavlovian response, I guess.
Storel:
When I find a webcomic I like, I read it regularly. That's all. If the creator has any other webcomics, I'll take a look at them too, if I see them mentioned anywhere. I don't get so fascinated by the comic's creator that I go looking for other ways to keep in touch with their doings: I don't follow their Twitter feed, I don't read their tumblr blog, and I don't check out their DeviantArt account. None of those have anything in particular to do with my primary interest: the webcomic, not the webcomic's creator.
(I do sometimes check out a comic's forum, if it has one that's active, but the Forum link at Templar AZ goes to NeverNeverLand.)
My point is, a comic creator knows that all the comic's readers have one thing in common: they read the comic. The creator does NOT know that all the comic's readers also view the Twitter, tumblr, DeviantArt, or whatever, because many (most?) of them don't. Is it really too much to ask a webcomic's creator to put a friendly notice of the comic's hiatus on the one place they know all the readers will see it -- on the comic's actual website?
It seems pretty reasonable to me.

I just witnessed one webcomic go silent just because the title advertised one thing, yet 35 or so pages later.......nothing as advertised. And people went nuts over why it was taking so goddamn long to "get to the good stuff." And the artist couldn't handle the masses of folks complaining about it, so she deletes everything and raged quit (For comparison, a comparable Japanese Hentai comic running a similar concept "gets to it" within 10-15 pages).
Whats with artists not accepting criticism well? Are they so cushioned with pyrrhic praise that one stray comment shatters that illusion?
