* Not so much that I am good at them but because I am punctual.
It is amazing how much more useful a person who is present is
over someone who is absent.
If you can get that much of a coherent plot out of Sinfest, you're
doing better than most - lets remember that this plot arc started
in Alice's Wonderland.
For those who don't know:
Sinfest is a webcomic (sinfest.xyz). It started around 2000, and
for the first decade was a cute and very fun slice-of-life comic,
with a clean and enjoyable art style. Around 2010 the brain worms
struck the author/artist, and it has turned into an increasingly
deranged polemic, starting with second-wave radical feminism,
TERF, SWERF, anti-gay, anti-woke, anti-DEI, and now, pure quill >anti-semitism, all while maintaining the same cutesy art style.
There's a sub on reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/sinfest/
which has been following this train wreck of dumpster fires,
with sort of horrified fascination.

It's not unheard of for comic artists to go a bit funny as they
age. Lynn Johnston, Neal Adams, and of course Kitchener's own
Dave Sim come to mind. But Sinfest's creator is a pretty extreme
example.
The author seems to be healthy so perhaps we will find out
what's after the TERF > Nazi progression.

If people really care, the pinned comment at the top of the sub
reddit goes into the artist's descent into madness in detail.
The most common theory is that he had a girl who left him, and
it broke him.

I don't know - the Nazi/antisemite space seems to be a
strange attractor out of which its hard to escape.

I think that again, your application of the
word "funny" is idiosyncratic. I'm going to
propose "go wrong" instead. And it may be
misleading to see that as age or brain health
related dementia typically, though I suppose
that can be the cause.
Perhaps we have more to say about cases of
SFF writers. In some cases - that the signs
were there before.
