I actually did things backwards where I made a comic, then transferred that into a novel. Honestly, it was a little easier for me because I had loads of ideas as well as posted stories that were supposed to be comics initially. But time hasn't been on my side at all, so I couldn't ever get to fully draw comic-comics outside of comic strips.

I do wish I could do more, but the current split between comic strips and novels really does give me some advantages.

Both allows me to stretch my creative muscles with one teaching me how to create structure, dialogue, and integral and interesting storytelling, while another allows me to stretch and grow my drawing style, making things more free-form and easily being able to make jokes and comments without the need or worry of a canon. As long as I don't break character, it'll all come together.
