This is true of all art creative jobs, ones enthusiasm for their craft is used against them when it comes to negotiating for wages or contract pay. It would behoove the artist to be aware of this
sometimes it feels like the publishing industry wants to treat cartoonists like we're all hobbyists, like we don't need to get paid reasonably, or on time, like this is just a fancy we're pursuing in our spare time. meanwhile, they give us BRUTAL deadlines that necessitate a full time schedule

"comics are an interdisciplinary art, and as such will always have competing definitions... contradictory definitions in comics only come into conflict in the context of the medium’s cultural competition for legitimacy"
Critical Thinking: The problem (with comics)
Critical Thinking inquires: can the TEACHING WITH COMICS academic textbook clear up today's comic book issues?

Since the infighting and one-upsmanship has started--people who feel helpless + frustrated turn on each other, it's just a sad fact--remember: you don't have to like the people you fight alongside. Your comrades will say profoundly stupid bullshit to you, about you, etc. Let it roll off, keep going
