Kris's buisness isn't easy. Its a rough one. So yeah he's got his work cut out for him. Some companys take YEARS before they get growth and expand. So honestly I think its just time and a slow growth. MAybe a comic like Gutters that has diffrent artists each week, Maybe something else like Peter is the Wolf. Part of this should be the love of MAKING the comics, not greed, profit. When you want to tell the story and express it, it shows. When its just bucks to be made. Then its half hearted.
Do they want their buisness to grow. Yes. Does he want to shell out his pride and dignity to do so? Not from what I can tell. He's worked thankless jobs for others. The comics buisness since the net hit is insane and overpopulated. People think its a gold mine. Its not, for ever popular comic there is thousands of failed attempts.
What helps some of them make it? Duration. No one looks back at johnny 2 year comic. They see the ten year, the seven, ect. Rich history and such. And they go "Well shit if its been around this long its got to be a good read." And so they read, and after reading so much they want more. And spread word of mouth and sucess grows.
Telling them to give up as its not making them bank now is like saying bake seeds and eat them instead of planting them and seeing what grows. Full tummy now, hungry later. I know a few of those places and I for one have no intrest in paying for what I can find for free. Not stolen, just free because theres tons of options. The porn is out there my friends. What do I see their comics as? A blast, some porny elements, some comedy, all in all a good time.
Sure we all want them to be sucessful. Heck if I ever won the lotto big I'd invest in the frigging company just to push it afloat. I want it to last a long damn time and wish them every sucess. Just on their terms, not anyone elses.
I'm sure you're entitled to your opinion. The problem is I don't care.
