Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

People will spend tens of billions of dollars a year on art, music, literature, cinematography, graphics design, architecture, textiles, you name it. But knowing how to produce these things consistently fails to function as a good source of income.
Really makes you question where all that money is going.
Speak for yourself. I have a cut and sew shop and do quite well. Knowledge is power. Skill is rare.
Are sewing shops profitable? We have one in my town and to be honest, I've always assumed they were barely getting by. I love to sew and mend and have had the "maybe I could take in mending" dream, but nobody I know actually mends their clothing anyway. They just chuck em and order more from Amazon.
Cut and sew doesn't necessarily mean tailoring. Plenty of trades at the sewing machine. I make custom canvas and upholstery for boats among other things. Maybe they're busy or maybe not, but a lot of people are shocked when they find out I work year round and have a long waiting list.
And yes, I have an art degree lol
If you make fetish gear, yes. At least according to my gf who used to get commissioned for it from time to time
