In many ways, the Internet is a boon for the arts, offering a place free from any sort of content control or censorship. On the other, it means that those of us who lack the desire or skills for self promotion means that we are essentially flushing our work down the toilet.

It's actually been like this since Gutenberg - there's just more people now is all.
If you only had a million people, even with the internet, there'd mathematically be a thousandth as many artists.
It's more of an overcrowding thing than a free flood of expression thing - both, but more the former than latter in this latterday.

Right. I can relate to this comic as I started out in the time when the only way to gain recognition in the Comics world was either submitting to magazines fitting one's interests, or the "Fanzines." I must confess that the Internet has broadened my influences, but so it has to hundreds of thousand of others. To me it's like there's a lot of "Junk" out there on the web, but there's a lot of good stuff too. I just have to dig through a lot of "Dross" before I find a few "Gems."
