Doing custom comic books seems to be the best way to stay in the comic production business as far as I can tell. Because when you give the individual comic book reader what they want, you are virtually guaranteed an audience. If someone tells you what they want in a comic, then all the guesswork is taken out of the usually painful attempt at figuring out what the audience wants. Recently, I was hired to do a custom foot fetish comic book for a rather enthusiastic reader. ("Did you say 'foot fetish comic'?! Holy crap!!" "Whatever!") And I'm getting paid $50 for the deal. If you think that's something, I hear that there may be many more comic fans interested in hiring me to do similar comics. It's a definite decent deal!

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Doing comics that you enjoy doing and getting paid for doing them. If this thing works out to its fullest, I'm going to make custom comics my main focus in comic book production.
