What's the story behind this?

I mean about Bill Amend? I really like the first ten or so years of Fox Trot, but I gave up on it after year 15 or so as it became very dull and repetitive.

He's been milking a dead cow ever since and last I heard he had switched to web only sunday comics.

Is he making even more low effort, drawn on napkin stuff? Is this a one of?
