I wish some of the big dudes mentioned in the article would maybe like, I dunno. Talk about this stuff sometimes? Publicly? Like it or not, we are all in this together, but some of us got wider reach and bend more ears.

You’d think comic book companies could come up with better villain arcs but I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be the same shit it usually is.

WHICH MAN GETS PAID DA MOST? (And how much?!) Will the designers and editors get reduced workloads or be laid off? Important things to pay attention to long term I suppose!

The Cartoonist Co-op is supportive of NSFW artists and is actively working against efforts to essentially cut-off the ability to be paid via credit card and other online payments: cartoonist.coop/faq/ Worth it to join if you are a cartoonist, or volunteer if you're not.

We know ya'll need money and time, and I know the $$$ I got charged by my publisher to "market" our book didn't go into the hands of our designer. What's on your plate, friends? What can we do to help you? We are your invisible co-workers, but we are fucking here, and we're pissssssssed.

Every time I post something like this i get these messages asking if I'm talking about "insert X" publisher - apparently I'm talking about ALL OF THEM. Don't be a dick to your editor or designer - but do ask them - how could your boss support you?

Cartoonists absolutely wish publishers knew this trick! If you paid us a monthly salary and gave us health insurance it would not take us 5 years and countless side projects to make a graphic novel.

Truly, the medical system in the US is a complete nightmare, fuck it, fuck the united states, fuck the for profit health system, fuck the lack of regulations that lead to increased rates of cancer in people under the age of 40.
