CAD is somewhat of a touchy subject in the realm of webcomics. personally I don't have as strong of feelings when it comes to it, its basically one of the millions of video game humor comics out there. I did fallow the series for a while ,but lost interest in it when the writer decided to do the whole infamous "miscarriage" story arc. now to CAD's credit it was vary Ballsy move, but the whole thing felt insanely out of place. think about to quote Zero Punctuation (as best as i can remember the quote) "you set yourself off as a wacky humor comic and this shift in tone is going to be awkward at best." As a fledgling comic book writer/artist if you are making a wacky humor comic its ok to put some dramatic elements in it, like for example story arcs,interesting character development, or even romance into the comic, and movies like "Knocked UP, "Superbad", and even "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" are based on the same idea . the thing is that when you decide to do something on the lines of CAD you are going to alienate your target audience, again to use movies to prove my point the movie "Click" for the beginning seems like a semi-toilet humor comedy, but as the movie progresses it gets more and more depressing, and to the audience this can feel like a punch in the balls to expect a funny story,but instead get a really sad moment and i think this is the reason why people are so divided of the subject of CAD. Wow wall of text. i feel like Tim Buckly.
EDIT: doing some reserch Tim said the reason why he did the whole miscarriage thing was to make sure that the comic did progress into a "life with a baby" comic. in my opinion thats a pretty weak excuses...also i do kinda enjoy the 3-4 panel comics about gaming ,but wasn't that what CAD was ment to be?
