But people like me are few and far between, and we all have saturation points in our budgets.<br /><br />I think we're in a Great Creator Bubble. If I bought everything I was interested in, I'd be more broke than I am already. Piracy, digital, print... its all moot. I just don't think there are enough eyeballs to go around with all the worthy things being produced.<br /><br />Cheap home scanners, digital coloring, word processing; All these things have made it that much easier to become a Creator. With each new book, existing creators' pieces of the pie get a little smaller. This growth in quality creator-owned comics is unsustainable.<br /><br />Heck, I should post this on that article's comments section!Andy Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317187315291141607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529575095156315075.post-71902110563507937912012-01-26T10:40:33.604-08:002012-01-26T10:40:33.604-08:00Man, we really gotta teach you how to create a lin...Man, we really gotta teach you how to create a link...Andy Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317187315291141607noreply@blogger.com
