Derek Laufman joins me for the 2024 Season 14 Opener to talk making comics as a profitable sideline to a successful creative career. We also talk about early how support and competition sets the stage for realistic expectations. We talk about his books, Ruin World, Bot 9, The Witch of Wickerson, and his current series Crimson Fall.
