The last I was there (yesterday) it still wasn't on his front page, and I didn't realize it had taken over the main comic. It was still X'ander as of last night.

It literally switched over only a bit before being mentioned here. I know because I checked the site earlier today while bored at work and it was the Xander comic, then five minutes later noticed the post here and went back to check it out and it was up.
I actually liked it, too. Maybe because it's such a large departure from his usual stuff or maybe because it's more personal so he put more mojo into this than usual.
When he's passionate about something it's usually at least somewhat good, or even straight up good. It's when it becomes a chore or a routine that he checks out. Perhaps Scott would be better suited to telling short stories, rather than keeping one long thing like PvP.
He probably should have moved on from PvP in one way or another years ago. Even David Willis mixed things up when he ended Shortpacked and introduced Dumbing of Age. Albeit with many of the same characters, but a different, more grounded universe, but still.
I'm curious to see how Kurtz's YA graphic novel turns out. It's not that he's without talent. It's that he often phones things in when he's just going through a routine or clearly gets bored of a project.
Not the first typo since the beginning of Mort. It seems he still doesn't allow for editors or spell checkers.
Hey, they just ruin the cre8ive process.
Also, Mort sounds like a petulant streamer.
—Patrick
I don't really begrudge typos (even though there's little excuse for them) but this is just the wrong word.
Mort reminds me of a roommate's friend who lived on our couch for a month. All his belongings fit in the trunk of his car, and that car smelled like Cheech and Chong had been chilling in it. He wasn't actively malicious. He sometimes bought KFC for everyone. And when he accidentally left the front door open and my cat ran out, he was the first one to chase after her. But he would leave his clothes in the washing machine all day and never put his fast food wrappers in the trash. And then he spilled some sort of nasty-smelling health drink on the carpet. Instead of cleaning it up, he covered the spill with a shopping bag and didn't tell us. We had a fruit fly infestation the next day. I see him all over Mort.
Yeah while I enjoy the new strips somewhat, I'd be down with him doing other projects over more PvP. Mort just comes from somewhere more real, whereas PvP is a story that goes on and on.

Kurtz wrote a Superman story and had it drawn by Karl Kerschl

Fan work, but it's still a cute Superman story.

Took probably longer than it should've, but looks like Kurtz is finally getting around to admitting how his life is making him feel these days.

"Dad's getting worse, my business is tanking..."
Huh, I thought he was still doing okay, financially?
It's probably doing better now, but these comics depict a few years ago when he was taking care of his dad and not updating regularly, or at all.
Ah, okay. I wasn't sure how long ago this was.
This is what I expect Superman to be. Not dark and edgy with gritted teeth.

Kurtz is selling off some of his art.
I do like Frank Cho, but I feel like 5k is a bit pricey.
Now maybe if it was an NFT...
So looking at current and previous sales of Frank Cho art... 5k isn't out of the question and would, in fact, be on the low end of scale. There are a few anomalous pieces going for MUCH lower, but most Frank Cho art seems to command this range.
So ya'll just be hatin'. This is positively a deal, if you want to own some Cho art.

What eldercare? His dad died some time ago.
