Every use of Desmond Fishman since the end of Scary Go Round has been a "Oi, about half me fans hate this bloke" troll. It's not limited to this thread. (If you do read the thread JA please reformat your website so your strips aren't cramped into a frame 75% the size of the actual artwork. It kills all the little details, like Shelley's Lunar Sea Trilogy poster in today's strip.)

actually no, nobody should do webcomics. everyone should do paintings. aaron diaz could be making thousands of dolars more per page at this point if he was making his comic into real, huge paintings he could sell. but he doesnt bexause hes either a big chicken or doesnt actually know how to paint or both.

But tbh it's more relevant now than ever before with the decades of rape skeletons falling out of every other closet. I didn't know that, I just thought it was a well written empathetic portrait of a pretty common thing to feature in peoples' lives, that hasn't been sent through the internet glurge processor of "actually the dad is an orc and Clarissa gets to behead him with an axe just like in my videogames" It should be awkward, it's nailing that sense of horror of being totally under a sadist's power and nobody is going to help because your problems bum them out. That's an extremely legitimate job for art to do in a medium that's overwhelmingly escapist power fantasies for manchildren where sexual violence is a spice you sprinkle in to make your story about beheading orcs Mature and Serious, or something to jerk off to.

The subject was Aaron Diaz. Webcomics may be a terrible way to make money in general, but they're certainly a better way for Aaron Diaz to make money than painting would be.

Dude is an established name living in a city with one of the most expansive art markets on earth. He already "paints" his pages, If he rendered them in real paint he would end up with both the thing he needs for his existing job and an artifact he could sell for a lot of money. E: also, to put my money where my mouth is, i am going to start rendering select duck comics pages in oil paint

Aaron Diaz could make a fuckload more money by doing pretty much anything, but he doesn't, because he already makes a fuckload of money doing nothing. He doesn't need your savvy business advice and the joe blow making like $500-$1000/mo in patreon pocket change is not in fact going to sell his originals for thousands of bucks a page to the vast population of wealthy eccentrics who just can't get enough second-rate paintings of cartoon characters

Every once in a while fulltime professional webcomicers who work in traditional media do sell their originals, which is why I've got a handful of $20 pages of webcomic I don't know what to do with because I'd never, like, hang them or anything and I just bought them to help the poor schmuck not become Basic Income Please
