I'm curious, did he cite the criticism as the reason that he was quitting, or was it something unrelated like a busy work schedule or just plain lethargy?

Straight from the sauce

So here’s what’s going on. Brentalfloss will continue, because I actually like doing those, and the current Alex Ze Pirate story will play out, because its 2 years old and is already finished.

But outside that I just can’t work anymore. It’s a testament to the seething hate that surrounds me that this will inevitably be seen as whining, but I don’t know what else to say or do. This has gone on for so long I just can’t do it anymore. There is no joy making cartoons and comics for me, and nothing I do will ever be good enough.

I know I have a lot of fans but this goes beyond just being a little depressed. I’ve lost the ability to appreciate those who genuinely want to help me, and can focus on nothing but the hatred. It’s really bad and I need it to stop.

Thinking about all this right now is already making me sick so I’m gonna wrap this up. Brentalfloss will keep going but outside that I won’t be producing anything new for a long long time.

Congratulations, douchebags. You won. Now leave me alone.

Yeah right, Sohmer is king douchebag. He's like if Darth Vader was a frat guido.

Also LFGcomic.

I'd be surprised if Sohmer would ever quit, his ego is like unending fuel.

No one's taking down Sohmer. Not when he's got actual good webcomic artists under his company banner and his company isn't running itself into the ground.

Those who can, create.
Those who can't, hate.

Congratulations on chasing a webcomic artist off. You do the world a service, assholes.
Sohmer's ego is fed by two things, your hatred, and his unparalleled work ethic. You can't kill one of those things.

Go ahead and keep mentioning the names of the webcomics you hate, and the artists you hate. Give them traffic and watch them grow.

I didn't know Sohmer was an asshole, never heard anything about him. I stopped reading LICD because it got kinda, eh I didn't care for it after a while.
And I didn't read LFG because it was too much reading.

That's what I do to webcomics that bore me or fail to entertain me. I stop reading them. I stop talking about them. But there are people who put actual energy into "taking down" these things. And most of the time it just makes it worse.

I don't really care much about Sohmer, my opinion only extends to that LICD serves as a world he created where he can do anything he wants and get away with it and that he has a huge ego and shows it.

If people really want to read it, they can go ahead and do so, I'll just use it as an example of webcomics that I think aren't good and leave it at that.

I ignore LICD and LFGcomic most days anyway and I never read any of Tom Preston's comics, so it hardly has any effect on me.

The shame is that when Tom Preston got legitimate criticism (on one occasion, I really didn't bother searching for more), he helped dig his own hole rather than accept it.

Which is of course forgivable but he had attracted a crowd which preys on every mistake he made, so if he decides not to fully quit, he'd benefit from laying low until that crowd starts to disperse.

What unparalleled work ethic? Sohmer is a writer by the barest definition of the word. It's Lars that does all the work for those strips.

I'm not the kind who actively antagonizes people like Dobson or Sohmer (in fact I don't believe Dobson deserved most of the hate he got), but I do think that Sohmer is one of those people who needs to be taken down a peg. Over the course of his comic he has actively insulted just about everyone who isn't Sohmer. His short "web-comic crossover" storyline and Gutters prove that.
