      When I did webcomics I was worried nobody would think they were funny or had some reservations about public opinions.

      Then I watched some documentary on comic artists, including Calvin & Hobbe’s Bill Watterson, and he said something like “I just make something I think is funny, and if my wife also thinks it’s funny that’s a bonus, and everyone else can think whatever they want to think, but I’m happy with it, and that’s all I really cared about.”

      And that was enough for me to get into it.

      Make it for you first. Everyone else is a bonus.

      For real, there’s dickbags pushing a button so AI can shit out songs that no one but themselves will listen to, patting themselves on the back as artists. Let’s never be afraid to put our art out there, spread it, play it live. People need to know what human creativity feels like.

      Edit: This may have been more about AI than I wanted it to be.
