Stranger than fiction: A little background on the cartooning and cricket blogging of John Cook of Skeptical Science, Al Gore's Climate "Reality" drop partner

Sev Wide Web - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sev Wide Web is an Australian cartoon site by John Cook, who is known to fans simply as "JC"...On February 17, 2010, Cook made the decision to virtually shut down the Sev site for good, aside from the occasional A Time to Laugh cartoon. [15] This decision was not unexpected, since the site had been floundering for the previous year and a half, with updates being late and missed. Cook originally was caught up working on Cricket Blog, a cricket website, but his interests turned towards Skeptical Science, a site about information on global warming. This site was said to "take over [his] life so dramatically" that all other projects, including Sev, Cricket Blog, and a site dedicated to web programming, are now "sorely neglected." The decision was preceded by fans complaining on the Discussion Board about Cook's "hobby" taking over, and it rose to the level of "personal attacks" on Cook. Cook denies any of the accusations in these attacks. Cook apologizes to all who enjoyed his cartoons over the years that they won't be getting any more.  [Via BW]
