Who the fuck reads a newspaper?

I don't read newspaper, I read comic strips in newspaper (see Journal de Montréal)

Newspaper Syndication is reliable income. It's basically a salaried comic gig. It's not high paying but it's reliable and consistent. You know how much money you're going to get and you're going to keep getting paid that until newspapers stop existing or your syndicator goes out of business.
With webcomics, it's completely up in the air and monetization mostly comes from things like merch. A webcomic could either cost you money or give you a comfortable living depending on how popular you are and how good you are at monetization.

Its a creative art form, realistically 9 out of 10 times you will make jack shit.

Webcomics as a whole is just such a juvenile area. It's for people who couldn't make it in professional media. I'm only making one for resume purposes; fuck the community.

Please show me your work. I love to see the work of snobby elitists.

Watch the How's Your Webcomic threads early this summer. Also keep your eye on /ic/'s animation general between then and now.
Robert Campbell
Not from webcomics obviously

I recently started following this comic a while ago and was genuinely surprised when they posted pic related that it was actually a newspaper comic.
Why are there people still going for such a dead medium?
Jace Green
you see, it's only a real job if you're miserable
the amount of money you make is irrelevant
if you're working 80 hours a week at mcdonalds making minimum wage, that's a real job
if you draw stuff and have a patreon and make thousands of dollars a month, you're just wasting your life

it's not completely dead and it's a guaranteed consistent livable income

The same popular, easily-marketable shit

I think it should be illegal to make money off other people's characters.
Majority of internet "artist" just draw popular characters and piggy back off that.

From what I've gathered, the strip's humor is supposed to be "cute", like Rose is Rose
Finally someone else thinks the same way
