It's not that I'm complaining - all stories have to end, and it's not like the artists/writers aren't going on to other things (certainly, K. Sandra Fuhr and John Allison, of Friendly Hostility and Scary Go Round respectively, started new comics immediately after their previous ones finished - Other People's Business and Bad Machinery - both of which feature characters from the previous comics in secondary roles, which makes me happy.) It's only that webcomics are, pathetically, one of the most constant things in my life (you only have to look at my Webcomics Pimping List to see how many of them I read) and comics like Friendly Hostility and Yu+me - which, I think, are the first two I started reading, way back when - are actually pretty important to me, in a weird way. I invest a lot of emotion in them, because, unlike a book or a film, they're a very long-term involvement. A film lasts two hours, a book maybe a week, but a webcomic can last over a decade, with the same core cast of characters. I suppose it's like a soap opera, just...less awful. And without the horror of bad acting. But you see my point; Fox and Collin, Lia and Fiona, Otra and Winter have been a part of my life for something like five years, and letting go of them is quite hard. I can only imagine how hard it must be for their creators. Of course, the solution to this would be to get a goddamn life. But this seems an unlikely thing to happen. |
