Relatedly, when folks see our place, if they've ever done work in a famous person's home, they tell us about it because I think they can tell "they'll know who I'm talking about."

Lately, I've been thinking about my goals as a comic creator and right now, they're pretty simple. 1. I'd like to (and am available to *hint hint*) write more. 2. I'd like to make a little bit of scratch off comics, and for my collaborators to too. Predominantly to fund more comics. That's it.

Famously out-of-touch writer states "If I write a scene with three guys running over a hill, and I write a thousand guys coming over the hill, in comics that costs the same amount." Bullshit. The cost is your art team's time. Respect your collaborators. Comics is not free labor.
