Also, Bravely Default 3 may be on the way!
Yay! I got mentioned!
The line isn't all that murky, really. You were born after the start of the modern internet age (1995). Your entire life has existed in the era of the modern internet. Those who fall into that category have gone their entire lives under the influence of the internet. Thus, they, and you, are generation z.
I didn't necessarily always have access to the internet though. I didn't personally have any machinery with internet access until I was twelve. I actually spent most of my pre-teenaged years reading books and playing offline games, watching DVDs and going to the library once a month for fun. I mean, sure, I'm slightly younger than most of the cutoff dates, but... eh, that's really all I got. As I see it, I'm kinda like Luke Skywalker: Last of the old/First of the new.
And thanks for the continued, meaningful conversation with that last response.
Did you want me to tell you I thought you were wrong? You had valid points. I obviously thought that these things could be worked around. I imagine he could literally draw stick figures until he acquired the attention of somebody who can draw forealz. Besides, making comics for money is a losing game for the most part. It looks like it would always be a passion project, even if you are "successful" (Kirkman, Vaughan, Lemire, etc.).
In other news, I have a migraine and will be going to bed shortly. Tomorrow you can expect the post to be finished sometime prior to my D&D session.
In spite of the obvious sarcasm, me and my chaos magic wish you a recovery.
Does anybody 'round these parts use Skype anymore?

You aren't a millennial. Also no. Because you're a teenager.
The line there is so murky.
Well, there's also the issue of time. I've got a full-time job, a circle of friends whom I try to make time for, a side career (well, at this point just a hobby) as a semi-professional actor, and about a dozen other interests and hobbies vying for my attention. If I'm going to start carving chunks of my days out for a dedicated project, it either needs to be something I know will be profitable or enough of a passion-project that I don't care if it bombs. And as much as I love reading comics and writing fanfiction, I really don't have a whole lot of inclination to sink that much time and effort into a medium whose audience has already shriveled to a fraction of what it used to be.
Cool stuff, anyhow. If I weren't tired I'd respond more. Probably will, elsewhen.

While I understand where you're coming from, you still are dramatically underestimating the expenses required for even amateur webcomics. Ignoring time invested, without artistic talents of his own or someone willing to work for free while still being 100% reliable, Andy would need to hire someone to do the art. Which is a serious investment without a guarantee of return. And that's just the most superficial, basic obstacle. While venturing forward on your own and flipping the bird at conventional, mainstream publishing is all well and good - a path I fully support - it is not even close to being a financially secure decision.
Sure.
<Snipped quote by Nightrunner>
You have money?
Why wouldn't I have money? Because I'm a millennial?
<Snipped quote by DocTachyon>
I'd support a Patreon. No bullshit.
Ditto.
Is NR volunteering to personally fund Andy in this very expensive endeavor? That's incredibly kind of him. Everyone, give NR a round of applause for his generosity.
I see what you're saying. But here's something I mean with every fiber of my being: Fuck traditional publishing. For a beginner, webcomics can be free. Make your art, literally print it on toilet paper and abandon it at high schools and in coffee shops. Why would you want to waste your money so other people can disregard you alongside a thousand seemingly identical products when you can do it yourself and grab your audience by the throat?

Because I'm lazy and too much of a coward to submit my work to the critical public, so I stay here in my comfort-zone where I can get cheap dopamine hits from the occasional Like or Thank.
You should change that, man. I believe in you.

It should be noted that when the Joker said "everyone," the implication was "the nameless rabble of NPC civilians that the Joker was starting to influence into doing increasingly chaotic things," and that it would simply be a one-off post to further that story arc while Batman was doing other stuff. Somehow it became a completely overblown battle royale and I ended up scrapping the Joker's plans altogether.
Why is it that you haven't published a comic?
