Nobody calls me on my own bullshit like my own characters.
Zed is less than pleased with the idea of his comic being discontinued.
I would be, too, particularly considering his origins.

He was originally to be "me" by way of Charlie Brown. An avatar of my own depression and self loathing.
Later, I made a comic whereas he was sort of an avatar of the insomnia I was having, wherein when he didn't sleep, he could see ghosts - chiefly, his deceased ex-girlfriend, Xaria Kirby.

Eventually, I brought him into "Sick of Superheroes".
Despite my crotchety Gen X'er philo that "superhero comics were better back then", I STILL love them.
(Despite all the sociopolitical nonsense that pervades them, these days.)
I did make Zed a superhero as a kneejerk response to the "Male Power Fantasy" thing. I deliberately made him just that.
Tall, strong, handsome, powerful, wise, etc… also, he got laid.
A lot.
Apparently, Zed doesn't want to lose that.
