I started drawing comics in my mid40’s, I just turned 50, I love making comics. No age limit, you don’t age out you just keep making comics.

It hit me about two days before my birthday. Everyone’s different though.

Sorry I meant totally normal in the way that means not at all normal and just like this comic

Haha fair. You’ll be fine. Sometimes a meltdown is exactly what is needed.

Because when someone makes a comic talking about something good, you get bored and move on looking for drama. That’s what it’s all about, juicy drama, conflict and frustration.

Damn, that sucks. How can you be a struggling comics artist at 40 unless you just started and are doing it for fun? Like there's no way you've worked your whole life on this and thought "yup, this is how I'm gonna get a pension and retire".

This isn't taking a shot at people doing cokics for a living, but the story seems incomplete. There are plenty of people making good money doing this for newspapers, webpages, apps, comicons, etc.
