But money? Small-press publishing is best for cartoonists starting out who have a day job or some other source of support, and you almost invariably have to look at it as a wholesale financial loss that may yield long-term professional benefits at the expense of short-term gains.

With most small publishers, you almost never see royalties even on a modest seller; it's almost always the case that while they take 50% of the profits (larger publishers give you a percentage of cover, which is harder to creatively doctor), 100% of the costs, not 50, are deducted from your end.
