Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

I saw someone once say comics are a marathon, not a race, and I couldn't agree more.

A lot of comics is just saying "good enough" and moving on- you gotta work smarter, not harder and having a finished page is better than nothing at all.

I'd also advise against constant comic reboots. MWG is technically a reboot, but I often see hobbyist comic artists constantly stuck in loops remaking/rebooting their series. You'll learn and grow a lot as you work on a comic, it's just part of the process.

I suppose my final piece of advice, while glum and potentially something you've heard before, is that don't expect to immediately garner an audience. Building a comic audience is really fucking difficult, it takes a long time, and it can be super disheartening to work so hard on a project and not get any reception... but the marathon metaphor runs true because eventually you'll build up a dedicated audience. You just gotta keep going.
