I have discovered a depressing phenomenon - a lot of really good strip-writers only hung around for a little while, then buggered off, leaving us with only a sampling of what they were capable of... *sigh*

Here are a few that I thought were particularly good, but short-lived:

timxcampbell - 7th to 12th January, held the number one spot a few times...
felion - 15th January to 3rd February.
NewCode - A three day binge in January, then one in February, three in April, and two in August.
Adlopa - 13th to 15th January, plus a handful in April.
kronsteen - 15th to 18th January, plus a couple in February.
Controleuse - 11th January, a friend of mine who only made four strips.
onion2k - 15th to 30th January, I think his "confusion" series is hilarious.

That'll do for now. Please post your own "Why did they leave? WHY???" examples here.

I *so* agree with you on NewCode. I added them a while back after seeing "Those Three Little Words."

I actually liked emmi and her series about the oblivious woman trying to hit on the gay man. Great stuff.

[Click to view comic: 'Boom Baby!']

It's the "Boom Baby!" series.

I liked the comics done by allenhenderson quite a bit. His strips were mostly series, and mostly dedications to his friends, and funny as hell. He did do about 90 comics, but only over a 2-week span. It's hard to give a sampling of his work, since it is mostly series comics, but here's one:

Obi, great find - allenhenderson is brilliant. I have rediscovered shittykitty as well. She says that it is all directly quoted from her friends, family, and acquaintances, or overheard in public places. Great stuff.

I don't have anything to add to the discussion, but I also miss all those people. And all the people who are on my favorites list but don't post anymore. And some extra people, just to be safe.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

The only ones that spring to mind for me are BottleRockett, fishoutofbeer and Dr. Light...

There's also DH-01 and Ranma X, but I know they're just lazy bastards.

"Only things I approve of should exist." -some guy on the internet

Onion2k and NewCode can be arsed back into action if anybody wants to log on to uberworld and pester them.

It's at:

Kronsteen is, as I write this, working on his doctorate thesis in cell biology at Johns Hopkins University. Literally. He's editing chapter 28 of his doctorate dissertation at this very second. Maybe he can come back after he defends and gets his Ph.D.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

And then we can have the two Dr. Ks duke it out! Cool!

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

*sigh* I'll bite. Who's the other one?

Dr. kaufman

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Oh, thank god. I thought it was Dr. Kevorkian.

---

I have heard that many people have sought out Dr. Kevorkian's assistance after listening to one of Dr. kaufman's seminars on "Intelligent systems for heat exchanger design."

---
"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Where as I found that a reason to come down off the ledge.

Enthalpy gets me all hot and bothered. I'm personally working on an adiabatic heat exchanger.

I'm personally working on finding out where Obi lives so I can hunt him down and whup his geek ass.

Or take him out for pizza. One of the two.

100 pounds of shit in a 25 pound sack.

Yeah, but it's not going so hot.

No, actually adiabatic means no heat transfer, so it would be hard to build a heat exchanger that way.

*sigh*

No pizza for me.

OH! I thought you said abdominal heat exchanger. I was going direct you to the missionaries guide to coital relations.

"Jelly-belly gigglin, dancin and a-wigglin, honey that's the way I am!" Janice the Muppet

Thats... yeah. That's what I meant.

JihadFad visited for only two days, but his/her strips are second to none! Well, maybe to NewCode's.

i've been "working on my adiabatic heat exchanger."

Kronsteen had the "Fondue fork handles shaped like Mary Wilson's ass" joke, and... I stole it while he was away.

Hrm, ouch. Now I'm all depressed.
No one even mentioned me.
Bah.

You keep leaving and coming back. We can't tell whether you're gone or not.
