To be clear, if you are a person with 4 million dollars to spend on a comic project and you invest that money in a system that takes work away from artists and disincentivizes people from pursuing art professionally rather than in artists to make your comic, YOU are the one gatekeeping art.

He's the owner looking down on people wanting to be be paid and do a job they trained hard for. Artists and writers that he's willing to ruin for a quick buck and then claim it's a moral stance. Saying they are the evil ones for defying his greed. Familiar.

Yup. Truth. He should have invested in, oh, I don't know... art education in low-income schools? So disappointed in him.

The Cartoon Art Museum could run indefinitely on a single $3 million endowment, just saying

Seriously. How many community arts centers could he have sponsored with that? How many public school art programs could he have provided supplies for? How many How to Draw books could he have bought for Dolly Parton to send out? Student loans? Tutor fees? Comic kickstarters? Like, DAMN dude.

I don't even understand why you would want it. At any level. It's echolalia for pictures but it's not even helping someone stim. How can you have that shallow of a relationship with someone's work?

Athletes should understand that skill is worked for not bought but here he is selling it anyway

Yeah I agree. Like, I'm just about to start an actual webcomic where I'm hiring artists to do the artwork, and I only have a TINY FRACTION of that budget. There is absolutely no excuse for it. None.
