The problem with talking about the theme to WKRP in the last blog is that as soon as I think about it it’s stuck in my head. So now that’s all I can think about. Television is so different now. When I was little you had to watch wat was on when it was on, so there was a unified culture outside of TV viewing. Now that unity is very diminished. Plus the competition for your time is spread over hundreds of choices. It must make it very difficult for providers to maintain their share of the market. The same thing goes on in webcomics on a smaller scale. Which is why I started mentioning Patreon & subscribestar in every post. Well, it was kind of a joke at first too. Now people want to see how I slide it in to every post. Although I expect some people are getting tired of it. But, as I’ve previously stated, I have to make a living too & people just don’t pay attention if they’re used to something just being there for them all the time. Much like TV there are many many more options in the webcomic world to choose from now. Works by people who went to school for animation or art that can’t get jobs in their chosen fields. Meanwhile I struggle to get by with my incomplete skills against these young people, who are full of energy & new knowledge. There’s not a lot I can do about it other than keep working. I’m past the age where I can just learn things in a couple of hours. The plasticity of my brain is deteriorating. My memory fails me more often now. Time is catching up & the young are surpassing me. I guess that’s just the way of things. I must give way to the new, or find some way to survive a little longer. All the time I hear the ticking of the clock getting louder. How long will I be able to get by on sheer determination & stubbornness?
