Well, yeah, but that's not how cults work; I brought up Joel from MST3K for a reason. He left his show too, and it didn't slow it down. In fact, I'm a Mike guy myself. Likewise, Roddenberry dying didn't stop the cult of "Star Trek."
Some creators do gain cults (Wes Anderson, Tim Burton, Joss Whedon), and Faust does have a very small cult herself, but the real cult here is still not Faust's; it's a cult of ponysonality, not personality.
I'm just avoiding the quality question 'cause that could get ugly.
