(hourglass has already earned me quite a bit from the sbcf, which atm is still THE gem of the indie comics community, and i am fine just knowing that it's out there being printed overseas and submitted to awards and stuff. but always be careful/realistic when it comes to contracts...)

it sucks even more knowing that these kinds of practices are commonplace in indie scenes outside of the us market (like here in italy where you basically have to work for free). go to indie publishers only with completed projects that will look good on your resume

you might as well consider the advance the only payment you're (sadly) ever gonna get from a comic publishing deal and plan accordingly that's all i'm gonna say

But money? Small-press publishing is best for cartoonists starting out who have a day job or some other source of support, and you almost invariably have to look at it as a wholesale financial loss that may yield long-term professional benefits at the expense of short-term gains.

With most small publishers, you almost never see royalties even on a modest seller; it's almost always the case that while they take 50% of the profits (larger publishers give you a percentage of cover, which is harder to creatively doctor), 100% of the costs, not 50, are deducted from your end.

“When a ceasefire is announced, I will just run. No one ask me where. I myself don’t even know. I will just run, and run.

…the important thing is to arrive at a quiet place: a place that allows me to weep for a long time.”

Four panels of David Lynch (older white man with sticky-uppy white hair wearing a rumpled white shirt and dark suit jacket): 1. Serious face. “As soon as you finish a film” 2. Similar serious face “people want you to talk about it” 3. Scrunched-up amused face 4. Slight smile “and it’s, um, the film is the talking”

RIP to the king

oscar suffers that's the only constant
