Alex Hirsch going "I'd be interested in exploring Bill confronting all of his lies" during the Seattle book signing and him going "This is my child. Please be kind to him. He doesn't deserve it though." during the San Diego book signing...
It makes me incredibly happy that he's just as obsessed with this problem triangle as we are.

the more I see of the hermit permits the more I find a very specific thing hysterical: the way it bans mega shops. everyone is going “oh yeah, of course, like the barge or ibuy” about that, which is totally fair. but the thing that is FUNNY about this is that it also technically bans mumbo and iskall from making another ill-conceived redstone department store named after a geographical feature of the planet. they’re depriving my guys a way to lose money creatively by over-complicating everything. they’re depriving my guys of “well okay it doesn’t WORK but in THEORY this should be the one-stop shop for all your shopping needs”. rude, really. now they’re going to have to come up with a new way to be spectacularly bad at capitalism,

I'm so mad that post was misinformation because there is actually an EXTREMELY important conversation to have about the production schedules artists are forced into. There's no need for exaggeration, the conditions are bad.
I work for webtoon. My publication schedule is weekly. While publishing I'm required 10-15 pages a week. Fully colored.
This means I'm finishing a 150 page fully colored graphic novel every 10-15 weeks.
When my comic is not updating, I am not getting paid. Any time writing, editing, or off is out of my own pocket. I don't get healthcare. They do not provide any assistants. They expect me to promote myself; they chose to deprioritize me before I even launched and gave me an end date half a year in. I never had a chance.
And this is the industry standard! Every company has artists forced into crunch hours, overtime, and burnout. Artists are literally dying early due to it. So many of my friends can't afford to go to the doctor.
It's unsustainable and untenable, and it's also the expectation our audiences have.
If we want to have this conversation, there's plenty of conversation to be had with the realities of the situation. It's bad as is.
