Years ago I was confronted by an angry fan (in print, not in person) when I mentioned that I was able to produce three pages per day (this was in my FF period) and so, since there are 22 working days in an average month and (then) 22 story pages in an average comic, I could turn out three issues per month, or just two and get ahead on the schedules. The fan’s outrage came from his own inability to produce even one finished page per day. How was he supposed to achieve his dream of working in comics?? My response was to tell him to set aside that dream, if for him it meant working on monthly books. Concentrate on fill-ins or miniseries. But he wanted to do MONTHLY books. Within a few years a tsunami of unprofessional behavior had shifted industry (and fan) thinking so that not producing on a timely schedule had become badge of honor. “Growing roses!” sigh
