>>103086870It's not really being a good writer or artist. Kate Leth is fucking terrible at both but she gets work anyway. It's about knowing the right people or being at the right place doing the right thing at the right time. Comics aren't a meritocracy, just like everything else in life, but that's okay because meritocracy would actually kinda suck for people like me that are bad at literally everything and sorta need shit like luck or connections to get by and compensate for our total ineptness.
Anyway, I figured out comics was a pipe dream somewhere around when I showed my mom a picture of a giant centipede with a man's face and she thought it was a kitty. Pretty much nothing looked remotely like it's supposed to and I realized no one wants to see my kindergarten-tier scribbles. I was 19 years old.
