To even use comics in the same breath and discussion as chemotherapy shows that you clearly do not appreciate what I'm saying.
I too am an artist, and support art and dreams but I can't do that if I'm bankrupt and die of starvation. You cannot expect artists to work for free.
And I certainly can't produce comics if I've died of cancer....
