We will miss our friend, John Lotshaw, and all the support he gave us over the years. Here’s the link to the first page of the crossover arc from so long ago: https://www.thewotch.com/?comic=accidental-wotch
🙁
I enjoyed his strip, and was saddened by the turn his health took.
I will remember John Lotshaw, may his memory endure elsewhere.
AC was one of the first TF comics I read back in the day – RIP John, you were certainly an amazing artist.
I will miss him, his comic was very entertaining and was one of the first ones I followed.
Sorry to hear this.
Comes for us all.
I had the pleasure to know him a little, through friends and projects, over the years. He was always a pleasure to work with.
I’m gonna miss you, John
Why did we have to lose good people like him?
I never followed that comic, but I well remember the crossover arc. The concept of people changing forms when crossing into other dimensions was an idea I thought was really neat and adopted for a lot of my own projects. Prayers for his family and for his soul.
I am glad to see the authors of this comic are still around at least.
I did not know he’d passed, so sorry to hear! He seemed like a really good dude.
Noooooooo! TOT I didn’t know he passed. Oh man I was just gonna try and see if he ever got that organized the other day. That’s just awful.
It’s a shame that even the version of AC that WAS online was taken down and never came back up…so sad…There’s probably an archive somewhere, but I know I’ll never find it.
Let’s hope that we can get a better 2023.
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. Accidental Centaurs was one of the most intriguing transformation-themed webcomics back in the day. He seemed like a good person. Best wishes to all of his friends, family, and fans.
may he rest in peace
So this doesn’t relate to the topic of the post John Lotshaw dying), but since this is the newest post on the site I’ll post it here. So I’ve been away from the comic for a good while, but for some reason The Wotch crossed my mind again and I went back and looked at a bunch of it again. Unfortunately, the comic also hasn’t had any new story comics for two and a half years at this point (especially frustrating because it seemed like the arc was winding down, and I would like to be able to read the rest of it).
I don’t know if I’ll get an answer, but I might as well ask. What is holding up the comic? It’s been over two and a half years since the last story comic. What is preventing the comic from being made? I can certainly think of possibilities, but looking through the posts made after the last story comic, I’m not seeing any clear explanation. The October 26 2021 post did have a comment of “Yes, I know it’s been a year since the last post. It’s just been… you know… a weird time lately for everyone.” So there presumably is something going on preventing updates, but no information about what it is.
I can understand sometimes you just fall into a loop where you know you should be getting more stuff out and keep meaning to, but but then keep putting it off and before you know it a year or more has passed. But if that’s the issue, there hasn’t been an explanation on that point.
Now, there is a Discord server and I know the authors have been posting some things there, but if there was any explanation offered in there, I have no idea how to find it among all the other posts. So if there’s been any kind of explanation… it would be nice if it were put on the site where it could be seen more clearly. Have the artists become too expensive? Have you just been incredibly busy and been unable to work on it? Even saying it’s personal issues you don’t want to talk about would be something. So some kind of explanation would be appreciated, and also any information as to guesses about when or even if the comic might return.
The lack of updates is a bit annoying (again, I would at least like to see the end of the current story arc), but the more bothersome thing is the lack of communication. I’m not trying to be aggressive or anything, just suggesting that even if new story comics aren’t coming, it would be good if we got a little more information about what’s going on here, because we the readers just don’t know.
This is the first I heard of his death; Heaven rest him and thanks for the ‘Taurs
