Robert Crumb

When an author kills off their own character after disapproval of usage by a third party.

Named after Robert Crumb, the author of Fritz the Cat, who killed off his own character after disapproval of how Ralph Bakshi handled the 1972 film of the same name.

So, Matt Furie has killed Pepe, huh? Looks like he pulled a Robert Crumb.
