But it's not BF fans' job to support them entirely, or subsidize their whole cost of living. People are free to spend their money however they choose - but $500, in my professional opinion, is too much for a single four-panel strip.

The artist should.
The artist spends substantially more time working on their part than the writer does writing it.
However, Jacyee is also the owner of Bloomin'. He's the marketer, he's the webhost, he's the editor and the guy handling all the indie-go-go stuff.
I'd say that's worth quite a bit considering the amount of work that takes to pull off by yourself.
Anyone who has done crowd funding can tell you that it's like having another full time job.
It's the BF fans' job to support the comic if they want it to continue. In order for it to continue Jacyee has calculated what looks like to be the bare minimum of costs for he and the artist to justify their time and expense to do it.
If you don't like it, don't throw in your $2, obviously.
But I'd hardly call it your place, professional or not, to imply that they're trying to get away with something or asking too much simply because you don't agree with the price.
