more food for thought

[johncomic]

Lately I've been seeing a lot of old indie comic books [someone on IG is selling off a big collection, looks like], and it shames me to admit this but... some of these books get me feeling kinda judgy.

 

Like, they look poorly done, and the subject matter doesn't interest me in the least, and some of it looks tasteless or pointless or dumb, and I feel like You really thought it was worth your time and effort making this?

 

But today I suddenly thought: there may well be lots of people who think those same things when they look at my comics. And the guys who make those books may well believe in what they do as much as I believe in what I do. So we all gotta do our thing and be ourselves, right? Nothing wrong with that.

You're right in that I think the work I am doing now is the best I have ever done, but many of my readers like my older sutff better. It's a funny world.
