This is a lengthy post about what the shortfalls in indie comics are, from my point of view.
It is also a series of questions. Who reads indie comics? Rather: who reads indie comics *and is not a cartoonist themselves*? How do indie comics factor into an average reader’s life? How *might* they factor into an average reader’s life?
I welcome all comments, it’s a big post. Please let me know.

I found this really interesting and will be mulling it over more today before adding my thoughts.
Wonderful article. I’d love to hear responses from comic readers. I know most of my readers aren’t also artists, and you’re exactly the kind of people who should comment on this article.
There are some issues that are hot buttons for me, and bodily autonomy is one of them. You wanna stop being my friend, just spread a celebrity’s stolen nude photos. You would be surprised at how fast we stop being friends except you can’t because I go back in time and stop your parents from meeting.
Totally my birthday today. As well as my cat’s birthday, so a lot of celebrating is going on over here but only one of us got some nice tuna.
I got it from Carousel Ink on Etsy. There were waaaaay too many things I wanted from there but I settled on this cute shirt and some leggings. I’ll probably buy more stuff from them in the future. It’s all cute and affordable and right up my alley.
