Much as I wanna say bone Bones, it’s F Shatner, marry Spock and kill Bones.

Not to mention it’s horrendously bad for the environment. I see everyone hyping it on LinkedIn and they have tunnel vision.

No I hear you and I sympathize with that position.

I think the amount of people buying comics has to be much larger for that to work. In the 90s this was all starting to happen and then the bottom fell out because of a confluence of factors ranging from the collecting bubble to the exponential growth of video games. The latter really ate us up.

These realities are really important to give voice to. I spent 120k(student loans and Pell grants naturally)I completely didn’t have majoring in comics at SVA not realizing as an 18 year old how unrealistic a modest wage was.

I would also add I specifically mean when making your own stuff. I won’t illustrate for others for less than living wages. If they can’t make it profitable that’s not my problem. I’m also a graphic designer and that pays somewhat better so I can’t be making less and lose money for someone else’sbaby

Yes and no imo. In large part it’s that the market isn’t big enough and the print production costs are higher so it’s harder to make a profit. Definitely plenty of exploitation as well.

Yeah, I don’t believe but I generally don’t make a thing of it. Partly cause I don’t want to and partly because a lot of Christians tend to be horrified.

This is it. There’s no sane reason to do it. Me 12 years into a graphic novel I know will make me no money. 🤷♂️
