Basically nothing matters until you can finish a comic. Doesn't have to be long but I talk to so many people who ask how they can pitch to a publisher and I'm sorry but the abstract idea isn't important. Publishers only want to know if you can do a beginning, middle and end and get it done on time.

I decided to get a jar of old-fashioned hard candies, like grandmas everywhere kept in candy dishes in the old days, to enjoy for the holidays. There was a huge variety of shapes and colors among the candies, which were really fun to look at. The flavors were...

When I was 23, I was working in a medical(ish) setting, and I mentioned something about a pine marten in a casual conversation. One of my co-workers interrupted me to tell me that it wasn't a real thing. The entire circle of co-workers agreed that I made it up to fuck around. There's a lesson there.
