I do not remember Jaycee ever claiming that he lost his job over the comic, that was a conjecture by others. His own words were " I'm leaving a very lucrative job to dedicate myself to writing full time", which is quite different. He also consistently said that his reasons for shutting BF down were "personal" and did not elaborate on the subject. My own understanding is that at some point the comic became a liability, the nature of which I cannot guess.

I am as disappointed as anyone at the comic's abrupt termination. More so than most even, since it not only managed to tickle many of my fancies, I also had a character in it (the lurker) who's story was cut short at the most interesting moment.

That said, people seem to forget that Jaycee ran a FREE webcomic, investing his time, effort and money into it. And when he decided to shut it down -- for whatever reasons -- he refunded everybody who paid for membership the full amount of their payment.

The guy deserves a "thank you".

Peace,
Lurker.
