I totally agree.

BW got thrown under the buss for taking a stance, his stance. He is a nonconformist and really, he puts in his comics a one of a kind mixture of childish silliness, questions, statements, and philosophical topics.

There is no politics other than being a nonconformist who gets bullied today now, which not even ironically proves his point as well reinforces it.

It is like he is simply protecting the purity of his characters, not the other way around. He appears to be a medium, not so much an artist.

He is a treasure, and a singularity. I ordered all of his comics back then and to this day hold them dearly and the books are treated with so much decency, they appear as never opened. I for example never fold the book cover, nothing. It is a weird thing of mine, but it is out of respect for an author with whom I have a conversation.
