Oh I understand why people didn't like it. It just feels to utterly entitled and unempathetic to react in the way his audience did. It's an Indy webcomic, not a professional newspaper strip. And even if it were, it wouldn't be the first time that a comedy comics artist injected some personal drama or statement.

I mean, i loved Garfield growing up, and if I'd seen that strip you've described, I wouldn't react with anger. I'd be saddened. I'd realize that the author is speaking directly to me about his own fears, his own anxiety.
