Web Comics Dying?

Is it just an unfortunate coincidence, or are several web comics sites slowly dying?

For example, Order of the Stick is updated only every two weeks or so, User Friendly runs repeated strips for about a year now, and even BOFH has not been updated since last December, and had only 17 stories last year.

Did the authors manage to get a real life finally? Or have they been swallowed by the Internet black hole which is Facebook?

I have of course read that Illiad's post, but it still does not contain any hint about why the UF is more-or-less dead now. But then I am a UNIX admin, I am not really good at reading between the lines.
