[Sinfest] trundles on for a few years, just generally being alright in an era when "alright," was pretty fucking hard to come by. Then things started to get a bit weird. Ishida started to get a bit feminist. And when I mean a bit, I mean lot. Presumably his political views changed before his did, but what the audience saw was a 90 degree swerve into passionate feminism. It's since been described as radical feminism, but given how rad fems currently aren't radical at all — we'll talk about that designation later.
Anyway. So the he starts hitting the feminism angle HARD in his comic. Very hard. With strips that are both hostile, incredibly on the nose, and really quite dour and humourless. The strips are so weirdly aggressive and on the nose that for years I was convinced he was doing a bit. Like it was all some kind of weird, extended meta joke, about how feminism ruins comics. That's how strange this 180 was.

on SinfestBryan has this comic called "Wacky Dawg," and when it started off, it was actually pretty funny. But lately, Bryan's been using his strip to handle his personal business. I guess that's why they gave him the axe.
