9. Cartoons Don’t Pay? Visit the Komikon Anyway!

It’s nothing we haven’t heard before: Cartoons don’t pay. You’ll hear that for comics too..

But everyone enjoys them – those who make them, and those who read them. That’s why we just can’t stop a good thing. Really…. We can’t.

Case in point, our friends at the Komikon will be holding the 2011 [...]
