If you're still reading this, you have the patience of a saint. Thank you. I swear the project's not forgotten. I just lack large quantities of research time which aren't devoted to, er... more mature research, shall we say.
On the other hand, a nice lady by the name of Lilith Ester (or one of the best pen names I've ever heard, in which case madam, I owe you a drink) has written a writeup on the works of one/one-point-five men who, were I not opposed to looking at anything they'd ever touched, would be fit for a profile. Read it here. It's rather scathing and points out the diseased mind of the creator(s) well.

I think he's pretty fit for a profile.
While his comic has been beaten into a fine paste, there hasn't been a hard look into the abyss that is the author and his articles yet. I'm sure there is some comedy gold there, I'm just too afraid to look.
I recall looking into the Snafu Comics Forum (another site deserving of review) and seeing him promote his comic there. Even the Bleedman fans were turning their noses up at Shredded Moose.

dooo ittt
This thing had deadlines?
Seriously though, if you wanted a quick, easy assignment, you could pick one creator at random who not only--in all seriousness--thought their comic was God's gift to the internet, but also went way, way out of their way to plug said comic, regardless of the current topic or possible negative response.
One that springs to mind for me is "Krillon Kallane," which may still be updating.
Then again, I suppose most immature creators do that; their comic/user names just aren't as searchable.

Devil's Panties, anyone? I was seeing this EVERYHWERE for the longest time, and have never seen any reason why anyone would want to read it. It was like random doodles or some shit. Still, does endlessly plugging your comic really qualify as drama?

Did he ever really create any drama? I was always under the impression someone just found his comic one day, spread it around, then all the sudden it was the next big joke of the internet. Then again, if he did make drama, we need to know.
WE NEED TO

Well, you can sometimes find good drama when a community shows them the error of their postwhoring/off-topic/self-aggrandizing ways. This can result in the poster pulling the comic from the internet in an undignified huff, however. With a 90% chance of them stating that fact for all to see.
Not that self-important people need feedback in order to create their own drama; it just makes it more noticeable.
Who cares about sourcing things?
This is the internet, nobody's going to sue you for libel. If they do it'll get thrown out of court.
internets.
It's been a while without an update. I really hope this blog isn't dead.
We can only hope.
And hey, sourcing at least gives us something to read when we've finished the blog. Not to mention links to further insanity when forums are involved.
Normally I would also say it keeps trolls to a minimum when evidence is thrown in their faces, but Solomon's blog sort of defeats that theory. At least they haven't come over here.
Do Maldoror666. He was some guy who wrote a porn comic with ridiculously oversized boobs in it, but the relevant part as far as drama is concerned is all the threads he made promoting his comic, in which he spewed inarticulate insults at everyone who criticised his comic.
It probably doesn't sound like much, but he is/was a complete arsehole. You can probably find a bunch of his comic promoting threads by Googling his screen name...
Here's a suggestion: a Websnark retrospective. True, Eric Burns barely reviews or even mentions webcomics anymore, but I think some mention should be made of his role, however unintentional, in encouraging both webcomics drama and webcartoonist circle-jerking. Not to mention all the fourth-rate cartoonists who've disgustingly promoted their crap by including cameos of Burns or his fiancée Wednesday White so he can mention them.
And then there's his horribly repetitive, cutsey writing style, a bad thing for someone who fancies himself a professional author.
Entropic Decay: Oh, God help me, yes! That's exactly the sort of thing I was talking about. I've only come across one of his promotion threads, and yet I couldn't believe I'd forgotten his name.
So much pretension for a pay-site (unless you can figure out the urls for the pages) which he openly announces will be horribly offensive to most people with a stitch of morality or preference for realistic anatomy.
Why, yes, I'm a bored lurker. Is it that obvious?
well i did google his screenname, and now i'm trying to find a way to 'unsee' the things i saw

I'm just glad someone else remember that idiot, because he really does deserve a good mocking. He somehow managed to be a combination of pretentious ("my comic is really deep and meaningful, you just don't get it, the breasts symbolise blah blah blah") and completely stupid ("u haterz r just gay homos if you dont leik my comic lol").
And persistent. Can't forget persistent.
