It's been 8 years /v/. 8 god damn years since Loss.
I remember back in 2008 when I was 19, Fuckley was at the peak of his popularity with the crowd that followed him and also the scorn of webcomics which /v/, SA, and others reviled. I remember getting a message on 4chan Partyvan group on Steam back then to check on /v/ of what happened. And what I saw was the greatest piece of work ever. And in just one day, around 100 variants of Loss by /v/ and SA.
So let this thread be a tribute to Buckley's finest B^U

And to remember our eternal battle with the mods over it.
Come on, at least post some of the old ones instead of just this new abstract bullshit.

OP here, here's some old.
Well this died off rather quickly. Has the sun finally set on Loss?

No, just wait until a new cad comic is made

>“I’m not sure what I anticipated, to be honest. I knew it was going to cause some ripples, and it was going to be a busy email day, but honestly by the time that specific comic went live, it was a decision that I had been living with for over a year,” Buckley told me when when I asked him about it this week.
>According to a statistical breakdown on Something Awful of more than 1,600 “CAD” comics, 94.44 percent of comics inspected feature what is known as B^U (tilt your head left; it’s an emoticon version of the signature Buckley face) — half-closed eyelids and half-open mouths. (The fact that there was even a statistical breakdown being done should indicate the scale of criticism that “CAD” faced.) In addition, character dialogue is often excessive: Buckley tends to tell, not show.
>As for the memes? Buckley’s reaction to them has varied over the years, from anger “because perhaps I had miscalculated my demographic’s ability/willingness to approach such a sensitive subject matter” to frustration for “CAD” being pigeonholed as wacky gamer comic. And on very rare occasions, “As much as I hate to admit it because I certainly don’t want to make light of the subject matter itself, I found them quite amusing.” Now he says that he’s flattered that something he made has been entertaining people for more than seven years.
