You know...I sort of have a similar conflict, in that I don't know if my series will ever be...significant.

I love your comic, it would be a shame. I know of at least two webcomics that are financially self supporting - Penny Arcade and Questionable Content. Both make their coin from merchandise sales. Both are also in color. Perhaps the addition of digital coloring would increase readership?

Yeeessss, those two are possibly the two most famous webcomics out there, so it's not surprising that they're self-supporting. Truth is, it's nearly impossible so make anything off of a product people can read for free. Merch sales are rough because most base prices are already so high that the artist can't make anything at all unless they jack up their prices to something hideous. As to digital, it's something I've been fighting against for a long time. I don't want to do it, and as things are with my laptop, I'm not actually capable of doing it, nor do I even know how. One day maybe, but with all the projects I have to do right now, it's better if I hold off. I so appreciate that you like the comic, though! It means a lot.

You have to keep doing your comic. It's awesome! And I voted for you. There has to be a way for talented people to get their work out into the world. We just have to find a way.

There are many ways, unfortunately, most of them cost money. Advertising and comic conventions outside of Hawaii are really the best options, but they're not options for me right now, and even so, what's the point of spending all this dough on a comic that won't support me anyway? I literally make nothing from it. It's not so much about the money as it is about the time. I need to figure out a better schedule is all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know what you mean about time. I wish I had a schedule for my writing, but the truth is, I do it when I have spare time. With my job, that usually means in the afternoons when I'm exhausted or on the weekends when I prefer to sleep. I love to write, but sometimes, it really feels like a chore. I know when that happens, I have to take a break. Still, it's nice when someone tells me they like it, or that it's good enough to be published. You're right about it costing money, and for me, all my dineros are reserved for things like rent and utilities and gas to get to work so I can turn around and give it back to the people who keep me in my house with my gas, lights and water going.
Oh, the joy of living in the real world.

That mask will surely hide the fact that he's a flying pig!

NOOOOOO!!!! Don't stop now! You're just getting going! I'll ... I'll have to go to Hawaii and somehow compel you to draw more. With pleading. And the trip would have NOTHING to do with the sub-zero weather currently outside my window.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha! Would this compelling involve a bludgeoning tool like Bacon's?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah. The compelling would probably just involve me going on vacation and eating pineapple. And not really compelling anyone to do anything. But I could pretend!

That sounds like fun, in any case!

Don't stop drawing the comic unless you truly want to. I read it ever time I see it on my messageboard. It's so fun!

I'm hoping to see some of the lovely things you draw when I'm in Waikiki in January!

They used to be, and I hope they still can be. I know they changed the course of my life in a lot of ways.

I stand behind the speech I gave last time *laughs* It's an important decision that needs to be taken when a person isn't down in the dumps though. *gives you a cookie*
