It’s All in the Card
If you are a cartoonist and you are trying to follow your dream, there’s a good chance that you are starving. I mean, sure, you may occasionally get paid $200 for an illustration of someone else’s idea that took you two hours to draw, but you’ll only get paid $50 for a comic page that cost you two days of sweating to create from nothing. In the end, this is not enough money to help you become a great cartoonist because to do so you need to read. You need to read and study the great work of other cartoonists, and read a lot of it, and the fact is you can’t afford to buy every manga, BD album or graphic novel you think you should read. Luckily, Toronto even has an answer for that. It’s called the Toronto Public Library.
