The glorious truth about the prestige of comics creation
From Tom Spurgeon's interview with Seth:
"I think, sometimes, people think a high profile "gig" of this sort is like appearing on the Broadway stage or something — excitement and applause. The sad reality is that you are just sitting in the basement, the same as any other day. You don’t actually see anyone read the thing. The Prime Minister of Canada doesn’t phone you up and say "Good Show."
I resisted Googling the strip for its entire run but when it ended I typed in the title. The very first "hit" said: "Thank god, George Sprott is finally over." And people wonder why I dislike the Internet."
