“I like the Internet as place to get instant gratification: posting a comic online is the quickest way to get attention for your art, but I have been talking to a lot of younger, aspiring cartoonists who very quickly get discouraged if they aren't getting a lot of attention immediately. This can also be aggravated by artists who appear to be really quickly Tumblr-famous, and get lots of notes on their work.” IfsWayHas BeensArtArtistAttentionTalkingInternetNotesComicInstantOnlineDiscouragedGratificationCartoonistInstant GratificationAggravated Author:Liz Prince
“I don't know what the comics community could do to make everyone feel welcome; I'm cynical and unsure if everyone can feel welcome, simply because so many people have conflicting ideas of what is welcoming, but I think that calling out creators and comic industry people who have harassed people and/or been abusive is a good first step. If we create a culture where those kinds of actions can no-longer go unchecked, then more people may feel welcome to participate and know that they will be heard if they experience unfairness.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsFeelsFirstsKindMayIdeasActionCultureCommunityStepsHeardIndustryCallingCreatorWelcomeComicCynicalFirst StepsAbusiveUnsureUnfairnessConflicting Ideas Author:Liz Prince
