Comics are hard work. They're boring work. They are mostly thankless work. And 99.999999999% of the time they're unpaid work.

I know the expectation is that you put in the workload of a professional with a team of assistants until you actually become one. This expectation is held by the publishers, platforms and the audience. This is some fucking late stage capitalism societal brain cancer and I can't wait for the attitude to die out. But until that glorious day...

If you want to slave for a pittance, do so. You might be one of the lucky ones.

Otherwise create for yourself at a pace you can handle. The odds are good you'll be the only one who cares about what you create so create with yourself in mind.
