It's even possible to become a respected writer if I want to make cartoons?
I'm planing on majoring on literature (licenciature, because there's no other literature degree in my taco city) and maybe have a minor in graphic design or fine art.
I'm also planing on taking some classes both in history, philosophy, politics or economics, or just read the basic literature on such topics if I'm not able to afford such courses (because of time constrains).
anything with pictures will attract a wider audience than something without because pictures don't require as much thought. and seeing as how the greatest authors of our generation are JK Bowling and etc. who make a point of appealing to the lowest common denominator...
yeah go ahead. but if you're just in it for the money then become a fuckin banker or something.
