Just a Web 'toonist...

[the_gneech]

(To the tune of "Just a Gigolo" by Louis Prima)

I'm just a web 'toonist
a tough way to exist
to work a job that
just ain't payin'

Draw until the dawn
until my mind is gone
oh, what they're sayin'

And then one of these years
I'm all out of idears
what'll they say about me?
When the end comes, here's the gist:
I was just a web 'toonist,
and life goes on, without me.

'cause I ain't got no money
and nobody pays for me
I'm so friggin' hungry
won't some fanboy buy some lunch for me?
'cause I ain't been fed

And I'll draw cute pictures, oh
all of the time
they will only be, only only be,
spoofs, satires and pop, pop shlock

Yeah I ain't go no money
and nobody pays for me
I'm so friggin' hungry
won't some fanboy, some sweet fanboy
buy some, buy some lunch for me?
'cause I ain't been fed

(fades out)

Hmm... I realize this was rather harsh. I hope you can take from it the goodwill I intended with my oh-so-sharp tongue. Someday I will get it under control.

But the point: You've got a good thing. And you aren't those people. It can be extremely damaging to you to compare yourself to them. Be inspired, but do not seek to emmulate. Be unique, and that is where you will create the best work.

I may not be back any time soon, so I wanted to get this out.

If I have offended, I hope you can forgive me. I'm sorry.

No, you haven't offended. And please accept my condolences on your loss, my friend. *hugs* -TG
