First Rule of Comics is....

You can't let public sentiment, opinion, or what people think, do and say in reaction to you affect you in any significant way. You can't AFFORD to care or give a shit what the media or ANY celebrity or writer or artist for that matter thinks of you, or if they even know who you are, let alone track your every word and move maliciously to form any kind of opposing sentiments or ill wills. What you CAN afford to think about is the pages, and how you're going to produce new ones today or any other day. The more I worry about what public opinion of me is or any potential shit people might be talking, the less power that gives me over my own pages and work for the daily quota. Paying ANYONE else mind, at ALL, only slows me down. 

Yes there are people that love and worship me, just as there are people who hate, mock, and insult me. If I am a polarizing figure, that fact would in reality derive from how much I care about my work, which influences how much I don't GIVE a FUCK what you or anyone else on the internet is thinking, saying, or doing. Fuck that noise. Just work. I have no desire to discover whether I am unanimously loved or a polarizing figure. None of that matters in the big scheme of things or historic sense. The pages matter. Opinions don't.

If you care what ANY TV SHOW thinks about you, whether it's a children's cartoon show or a talk show, you are mentally ill and not worthy of pursuing comics for a living.
