Actually there have been some interesting studies that conclude that monetary incentives actually impede a person's ability for creative thought. In a sense arting for money is stressful, and artists tend to be more productive in their work when they don't have to stress over it.

I don't think agents are generally willing to work at the scale that would be most meaningful to developing comic artists. That said, monetizing a webcomic often starts the process of killing it, because running a business is a loving chore and almost everyone with a webcomic already has at least one other job.

Basic Income Please also rejects the use of personal pronouns in reference to Basic Income Please, so all these people saying "them" are being pretty disrespectful. Basic Income Please being referred to in the way that suits Basic Income Please barely makes the speaker sound like a wrestler cutting a promo at all.

What do you think of Basic Income Please? Well, I think Basic Income Please has some good points, but Basic Income Please should really have moderated Basic Income Please's message if Basic Income Please wanted Basic Income Please's essential point to get across to a receptive audience. Well, goodbye.

I felt Basic Income Please's post-meltdown message demanding basic income from former supporters as a middle finger to capitalism completely misses the point that you can't exempt yourself from capitalism, much less by demanding money from others, which was earned by engaging in the capitalist system. It's just adding one degree of separation, classifying yourself as a dependent like a child; it doesn't mean the child doesn't live "under capitalism". And money was still requested because money is what Basic Income Please wanted to use in exchange for goods and services.

i hate capitalism and money, in fact i despise money so much that as soon as i obtain a note of legal tender in any currency i tear it up to make nesting material for my chickens, which incidentally have a gregarious grain-based meritocracy that functions on obscure but definite social rules

the flock currently includes a bonded pair where the male is a guinea fowl and the female is a chicken, that is to say not even the same species. to bring this full circle, interspecies sex is a prominent theme in my webcomic, in fact it is the only theme in my webcomic apart from the timeless classic "is there any solid matter on earth that can't become a sexual object if you put tits on it"

the webcomic itself is a sexual object in that every time i finish a page i print it out, roll it up and stick it up my cooch. i then delete the file. incidentally i have exciting news: i am carrying my webcomic's child.

Avshalom, do you accept reader submissions for character designs, I'd like to offer mine: Arkadiy was created (and drawn) to be a loosely autobiographical figure, as detailed in the extensive backstory that I wrote for him (which will be published separately by Gallery Press as Top 10 Subway Shops of the UK)

So 100 people give Basic Income Please $20/mo, where are they getting that money? By selling garbage to each other. It's turtles all the way down. Speaking of real Basic Income though, Finland is starting a pilot program for 2,000 unemployed people. There's also the Dauphin research in Canada that seemed pretty compelling.

Oh, I have the book. Just saying it took longer than expected to come out. And, really, truly, I'm not upset about it. You do what you need to. I'm still a reader and I still enjoy the comic.

So I've just realised something. Assuming they don't get eaten by wendigos and get back to Tackleford, Erin and The Boy are back at school age. Which means they'll be contemporaries (maybe a year or two above in age) of the Mystery Teens. So I think we might see Erin vs. Mildred.
