Almost everyone on AoStH has been forcibly retired and left LA. Only those with R&S on their resume manage to stay in it. A lot of the "older guys" were relegated to sheet timing because only they know how. And they are dying off. I'm as vocal as I want.
It's stupid that people are compelled to spin fairy tales about how all graphic novelists, manga artists, comics artists in France are getting rich, and if you're not, it's your fault, just move to France. They're malevolent untruths. You do it and tell me how it was!
