Cartoonists, stop whining about schedules!
I read a lot of web comics, and I support a lot of web comic strip artists through periodic donations
But I am really really tired of "Sprry, my life is complicated, no comic today" "Oh, I posted a schedule, but I can't make it, my son has soccer!" "Gosh, I wish I could keep to a schedule but I had friends over!"
Just shut up. Publish when you get around to it, if you don't have something to publish today don't make up a lame excuse that no-one cares about, ust say "no comic". Otherwise it really sounds like whining. well, it is whining, and not very good whining at that.
And if you know you're an erratic publisher, DO NOT put up a publishing schedule. We'll be there, you don't have to pretend you're gonna make every Tuesday & Friday (yes, that means you Rudi).
I love web comics, and the artists are all great. Keep doing your thing, it's part of what makes the Net work, and I'll keep doing my part by sending you a few bucks every now and again.
But don't make lame excuses.
