I think everyone should leave Zac alone. Why is he not entitled to his own opinion? Because it doesn’t follow all of yours? Cheers to Zac for standing up and saying how he felt, when I am sure he knew he was going to be bombarded with remarks about him being a jerk (or worse) for daring to say how he really feels about it all.
I think Zac has every right to vent out a frustration of lack of updates, if he is feeling that way.

As far as Renee and her/her family’s health issues: it gets down to this (holy crow, in my own opinion!): they aren’t really any of our business. Renee did declare a while back that she will essentially update whenever she is capable, which right now, appears to be rarely/not at all. We can choose to come back on occasion and check, subscribe to the RSS Feed, or not come back at all, whatever we want. We are also free (as Renee sees fit) to write how we feel about it all in the comments page, or in the forum area. Don’t forget that Renee reads all of these ahead of time and greenlights the comments. If she felt Zac’s comment had no validity, she would not have approved it.

Renee, you did have a very rough summer and I can empathize on many levels, my heart truly goes out to you and I hope you come out of whatever you are going through (if indeed you are going through tough times, maybe you truly just need a A<3M break) tougher than ever. I wish nothing for the best for you and yours.

Several things: @AJ – I am intrigued by your idea of the walk of shame. @Renee – I hope so much that you publish ALM as a book!! I would be thrilled to buy such a lovely product. Get well soon! @everybody else (except zac) – I’m so glad that there are so many awesome people wishing Renee well

@zac

For being a loyal fan, you’re quite a disappointment partner.
I still check everyday a few times a day, and I just hope she gets better and ready to go with the story again, no need to rush her.

We all love Rene?

@Julie:
The Mythbusters busted the “getting sucked under the train thing”.
I thought it was plausable, but you are actually more likely to be sent flying from the wind (if you are really, really light!) than get sucked under.

I think we should try and remember that Rene doesn’t HAVE to do this comic. I mean, she has enough going on in her life (taking care of her kids, trying to cope with everything) without juggling a webcomic and fans too. She never HAD to start Anders Loves Maria, you know? I think we should just be grateful that she chose to share such a beautiful story with us.

Don’t worry about it, Rene. We know you’re doing your best, and that’s all we can ask.

ugh, here we go again.. I am a LOYAL reader and I happen to follow her on twitter, too along with some other webcomic artists that sometimes stay up all night to get their comic out on time … without 8 million excuses. This has been going on for way too long… she is lucky to have loyal fans like you and she takes advantage of it. That’s all. I wouldn’t say anything if I didn’t care.
