Yeah, there's this narrative going on like Andrew Hussie is Bob frickin' Iger or something: a bloated plutocratic businessperson squatting atop a billion-dollar IP franchise, running it with merciless attention to the bottom line and punishing any infringement with a battalion of lawyers. They're a WEBCOMIC ARTIST. Most webcomics artists can barely run their own merch store.(ahem<Achewood>ahem) Plus, from very early on, Hussie has been gleefully blurring the lines between official and unofficial Homestuck. Hardly surprising that the business side of Homestuck is informal, fluid and occasionally shambolic.
