some people apparently liked it because it was about "cute indie girls and boys" or some such nonsense. I thought it was just another "zany" gag-a-day strip with yet another talking-thing for a mascot and saw nothing special about it. But I guess he found an audience.
Why dod all of these bland or just plain terrible webcomic long-runners manage to gather fanbases that are full of broken people? Just to name a few dreadful examples, Dominic Deegan, Ctrl-Alt-Del, and Megatokyo, and College Roomies from Hell!!, all of which had fandoms full of obsessive weirdos.
I tried to figure out what bugged me so much about strips like these long-runners like CRfH, and QC and Sluggy Freelance and so on and so forth. It wasn't the fact that they had so much interlocking backstory, because when it's done well I like it just fine.
These long runners, a lot of them, base entire sections of plot around stupid stuff, and the readers are supposed to take it seriously. It might have started out as a joke, but at some point it morphed into these big dramatic events, this convoluted backstory so that in order to appreciate the comic, we are supposed to take seriously the actions of a switchblade-wielding rabbit, or the idea of a conspiracy of all guys named Dave, or a left hand that turns evil or zany robots that get human sized robot bodies and agitate for robot rights or whatever. It's just not happening.
