A professional posts promptly about why the comic is late, or isn't late in the first place. Posting months after you start slipping isn't professional.
What, in small-press publishing?? This has got to be a joke, right?
Anyone who's ever had anything to do with publishing, especially on the indy end of the spectrum, knows what kind of standards exist, and don't exist, in the business. When someone comes along and complains that a one-man publishing outfit should be singled out and taken to task for being quirky, arbitrary, uncommunicative about delays, or what have you, I have to laugh.
I mean, come on. Burlew could be an alcoholic pretending to be sick -- he could have no reason at all and just be making the whole thing up -- and it still wouldn't matter, because in the business he's in there is nothing whatsoever out of the ordinary about that.
If it burns you up that artists don't share your standards of "professionalism," then Giant In The Playground is the least of your troubles, my friend.
