I felt you made some great points, but I knew they were more guidelines than The Only Way To Do Things Forever And Amen. I far too often forget that some people always take things too seriously and then feel the need to lash out. Anyway, I thought what you wrote was great and frankly quite inspiring because I keep (unsuccessfully) toying with the idea of doing a web comic too, and your words really rang true for me. :) Keep on keeping on!PORK-PIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16231644995381609470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005893.post-46360715549250224332010-11-23T17:03:56.671+00:002010-11-23T17:03:56.671+00:00John!

...John! You put that print in the shop! Thank you!<br /><br />I thought the point about hobby-drawing was well made. I've had the "if only I could get paid to do this!" feeling lots of times (not about drawing per se) but it's true - if you want to make your hobby your job, then you have to treat it as a job and be prepared to have a business plan and some follow-through...Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530845147391401083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005893.post-11982621989465675492010-11-23T13:10:37.961+00:002010-11-23T13:10:37.961+00:00Hi John,
