Absolutely. Consider that to create a monthly comic, you have to do roughly 26 pages of finished art every single month. that means a page a day with four days off. If you don’t get your page a day done, you get no days off.

If you can’t do a monthly comic, many fans complain. But monthly comics means completing a finished piece of art almost every single day, 365 days a year. Most people just can’t take the strain.

I also love how artists are all disillusioned at comics and realise how hard it is when they do it..

I can’t get over the number of people who think the problem is laziness or lack of dedication. The world doesn’t owe us a living. They do not have to buy our comics. Creating comics costs money. It costs money to live. If we don’t have money to live, we don’t have money to create comics. It’s a simple numbers game.

“Drawing a comic book series is extremely expensive and time consuming, which is why you may have noticed many of them falter at some point and never get finishedâ€¦the money ran out.”

Amen.
