What If There Were Financial Problems With Comics In A Country Where People Talked About Money?

We don't have to speculate, because it exists. The country is France, the problem is believed to be a combination of massive overproduction without a growth in the audience and changes in the retirement payment requirements by cartoonists (currently deferred). Whether or not you can hammer away at one or more of the arguments being made doesn't seem to me to kill the utility of paying attention to an arts community that talks about this openly and soberly. There are even semi-prominent people quitting their comics gigs because they can't figure a way to make them work.

With all issues of comics' legitimacy as a medium of worth now out of the way except for stance-taking cretins, the next compelling issue for the comics art community is maximizing the opportunities and rewards that come to comics-makers.
