Sean “Squidi” Howard has announced his intention to close down his comic A Modest Destiny as well as disappearing from the internet. Howard cites several reasons including becoming a father and the Penny Arcade incident a while back.
Comixpedia interviewed Howard in January 2004.
In my defence I would probably have put, for instance, Diesel Sweeties in this category as well. Perhaps we need a category for pixel art, though technically I suppose that would be everything but flash comics.
Poor Sean. Even at the last, he’s still put in the “sprite” category.
My response to the takedown note (and, apparently, my small role in his decision) is here: http://tcampbell.net/2005/08/oh-geez.html.
