Ryan Armand's excellent webcomics seem to have vanished.
Does anyone on /co/ know what happened? What's the story with this guy? I loved his work and had recently been craving to dive into the archives and see what new work he's done, but it's all gone.
You niggas some hos
the archive doesn't have all the images but it's the next best thing i guess

/co/s wondered it several times this year, about 5 months ago someones storytimed the entirety of it
no one knows for a fact, but a few anons claimed to "know" things
he stopped updating, and his last known internet activity was a few years ago on a blog or tumblr or something, just a normal post
sometime early this year, the site went down, and came back up, a few months later, it went down for good
minus was obviously finished, and he abandoned most other things he worked on long before it went down
check the /co/ archive for the storytime and people talking about it, i think the storytime and first thread after that both had kiwisbybeat in the main text. that or minus, not ryans name. that should help search it

It is very neckbeard to enjoy anything for any reason.
There was a thread here recently where someone posted evidence that Ryan was apparently homeless now.
I'm really worried guys.

This is the latest information on his status so far. All we know is that his home is apparently foreclosed, but no one has been able to get in contact.

balls
Did he ever shop minus around to actual publishers, or were the physical books just a one time thing? I feel like he should be making continuous money off of such a singular work of genius. Like, how do any authors make any money if something this good doesn't make money?

Crap sells.
My best friend kept telling me to read this comic and I never got around to it.
I feel really sad about it even though it's up on archive.org
