Well, that was a thing.

At least SC.com is still big enough to have some drama again, even if it is brief and wholly unexplained. I guess I'm just going to have to start picking on Atomiclunch more often then.

Anyone care to dish on what, if anything, could have set off this site's most prolific poopsmith?

You'll find a lot of users have "left forever" and then come back in a few months, many times. 

I "left" for a few months once, but it's because I was out of material. I also didnt use the sote for several years but that was unnanounced.

Mph, we'll see...

Please replace the handset, and try again.

At least he left forever quietly.  Back in the day, it would take months of tantrums about leaving forever before they left forever.

He deleted thousands of strips on his way out though. Not exactly what I'd consider a "forever for now" kind of thing - he would have had to sit there and manually delete each and every one. Unless Ragu can hold onto a temper tantrum for the hours that must have taken, I presume something bigger is stuck up his craw.

Meh, just sort of thinking out loud. In type. Whatever. Shit's boring when nobody's running their Other Comic Competitions.

I have no idea why ragu would leave, but I'm happy to speculate wildly.

My theory is that the Illuminati finally caught up to him, and he has to go underground for a few years.  One day he'll show up again, and nothing will seem different, but you'll be able to rest easier knowing that the shadowy forces who would seize control of this world for themselves have been thwarted yet again.

Don't hold me to this, but I think that deleted comics are really just "hidden" instead of removed from the database.  If ragu decides he wants his comics back, he should ask Brad.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

I liked ragu4u. He was bizarre.

Did someone make a comment on one of his comics, threads, or PM that set him off?
