Comics and Animation, and the Freedom it Offers Writer-Artist Types

One of my all time favorite aspects of both comics and animation, in any country, isn't just the art, or the writing, but both art and writing, and how many creators who have made careers for themselves in these two mediums are artists and writers simultaneously, or "artist-writers". I've been studying "artists who can write" and "writers who can draw" for years now, as I'm one of the creators who does both, too.
