I think Piro is a slave to the comic. He can never quit it without pretty much ruining all of his income. Even if he hates it (which for some reason I suspect he does), he couldn't really quit. I guess at least he's not working 'for the man' or whatever. |
My bro said the same thing a while ago, and actively believes Fred hates the strip right now. Curious. Also, Fred yelled at my brother once in the forum for calling him "Freddy Boy"
Mostly, I can't stand how blindly devoted the fans are. The man frequently misses updates, takes forever with his story, etc. and yet every update gets a "great strip Fred" remark from the fans. There's simply no room for criticism of the man and his work among them.
I've also thought a lot about how he updates. I always trashed him for it, comparing him to PA (which love them or hate them, is consistent with updates despite their many other projects). Piro always uses the excuse that he is not a professional, that the main focus for him now are the books, blah blah blah. I always responded to this with "then stop publishing it online a strip at a time", but I guess there's really nothing stopping him from doing it, or for a reader to ignore the online version and buy the books. I guess my stance softened a bit, though I still think it shows a lack of responsibilty and legitimacy.
Also, I hate Dom more than Piro. At least Fred is honest about what's going on with his troubles. Dom can only write "look how awesome I am writing about anime for magazines and going to Japan and playing Big Bang Beat. And no, you can't have my tickets to awesome game event #50 ... :p" |
