Cartoon professionals are organizing online around ComicsBrokeMe to reveal ghastly working conditions and meager pay.
. “I was having heart flutters, I was dehydrated, I was falling asleep over my school’s Cintiq. I hated the work I turned in. When I woke up and saw that I was cut loose, something in me broke.” A different artist, Corey, alleged being overworked by a tabletop company. “I busted my ass and didn’t sleep for two days,” he wrote. “They responded with a bunch of hand wringing, bs and a kill fee, and I promised myself I’d never bust my ass like that for a client again.
Freelance illustrator Chris Sotomayor’s health deteriorated due to working conditions. “I got some stories too,” he. “Like when I was overworked and wound up in the hospital for 3 weeks. One of which was in a coma. When I got out, my editor fired me, even though I got my work in before I was hospitalized.”
Cartoonist Cooperative, an organization committed to making comic pay rates livable and equitable, is encouraging the collective action. “It does all come back to publishers, and how capitalism doesn’t value artists,” the group said inusing #ComicsBrokeMe. “As long as cartoonists are paid the same low rates for pages — if not worse — than they were 20–30 years ago, comics are broken.
