Welcome to Webcomic Hell 4: I don't even know how to subtitle this one

Hey, remember Plush and Blood? The horrible, horrible webcomic whose author suffers from clinically diagnosed delusions (well, diagnosed by me)? Well, here's a little update for y'all:

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.

At least, not since April. That's right. In about six months, it has been radio silence in the world of Plush and Blood. No updates. Nothing on Facebook. Even the forums are silent. And on Patreon, the guy is shedding supporters and money like a college girl sheds phone numbers at a Christmas party.

Some part of me is a little suspicious about the timing of all this. I mean, I posted my first (scathing, rude) article about P&B in February, and two months later the guy just stops updating altogether? I'm not saying he somehow found my article and was so crushed he decided to drop off the face of the Earth, but one can only hope—er, I mean, because that would just be too bad.

Getting serious again, I will mention that my first Plush and Blood article has six times the views of most of my other published articles on this site. So it's entirely possible that some P&B fan found it and showed it to the author Messer, or perhaps he found it himself. I don't know. I don't particularly think it's likely that my article is the reason for all this silence, but you never know.

In any case, I can't help but feel a tiny bit satisfied over all this. As you probably know, I don't really think Messer's work has any artistic value, so it's no great loss to the world that he's decided not to update. And obviously he's not exactly devastating his legions of fans (pfft. What fans?) by going silent, so that's not a loss, either. And, one day, should the arrogant Mr. Messer return to his webcomic, it will be extremely interesting to see whether or not he acknowledges it. To me, he seems like the kind of guy who would just continue on as if nothing happened.

Also, it'll be interesting to see if he updates his Patreon page - which, several times, boldly proclaims I HAVE NEVER MISSED AN UPDATE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE - to reflect the truth that, oh no, he has missed hundreds of updates. Once again, I don't think he will. He's not the kind of guy who acknowledges his mistakes. He's the kind of guy who blames them on other people. I can just imagine his first returning post (if he ever does return) being, "Oh, you guys didn't give me enough money and that's why I stopped communicating with you altogether."

A last note: I honestly hope someone takes legal action against Mr. Messer. On his Patreon page he clearly promises consistent and reliable updates, but has not delivered anything in months. The people who have paid him their money (idiots, sorry but it has to be said - why the hell would you PAY for that trash?) have, honestly, been conned and swindled. They paid for a product that Messer has failed to deliver. There is something really sketchy here that, personally, I think could amount to theft and fraud. I think Messer needs to be kicked off Patreon at least, and in a perfect world should face legal action. Anyway, those are my thoughts.

This will, unless something ridiculously insane happens, probably be my last update on the status of Plush and Blood. I'm not planning to update with Welcome to Webcomic Hell 62: Nope, nothing has happened yet in the year 2018. There's only so much you can say about nothing.
