That is true. Everyone makes fun of this, but it was the author showing how things can go fine one day, then go so wrong the next. It was out of character for the comic, but it was a young comic artist writing about his pain. Everyone fucking crucified him for it.

Time Buckley (the author of Ctrl + Alt + Delete) was a *famous* internet asshole. Not only was the comic itself considered to be a low-rent PvP/Penny Arcade with superfluous dialogue, copy-and-pasted art and bad punchlines, but he was a known plagiarizer, ripped his background images off Google image search, aggressively edited his own Wikipedia page to avoid criticism, disrespected other webcomic artists, banned all critical voices from his own official message board, told his fans to NOT donate to Child's Play, and generally carried himself like a tool, And then there's the whole did-he-didn't-he send pictures of his genitalia to an underage girl saga, which I guess you had to be there for.
Buckley was being crucified well before Loss dropped. It just reinforced the hack reputation he'd already earned.

That's because he was constantly such an asshole to absolutely everyone that people were eagerly anticipating the opportunity to crucify him effectively.

It's not true, He had a relationship in college years before that ended following a miscarriage but nothing happened around the time of the comic with his then partner.
