To be honest...
I'm only going to draw my comics this summer/fall because I need to get it out of my system. I fully expect to get nothing for my efforts. It will be under-read and under-rewarded financially and by most measures society deems something as worthy I will have completely wasted my time.
However, after two decades of peddling EFL in East Asia a year off scratching up a tablet will serve as a much needed mental/ physical health reset as I put another phase of my life behind me and prepare myself for the back end. It's a pretty fucking privileged position to be in, and it's only temporary, so I better not waste it.
