Comic strips being outsourced... I knew Doonesbury hasn't been drawn by Trudeau for quite a while; Shoe isn't done by the original guy any more; and now it turns out Rose Is Rose is now "Created by Pat Brady; By Don Wimmer"?!

Who the heck is Don Wimmer? Will this depressing outsourcing craze never end? Are these things just franchises or brands now, to be carried on regardless, even after the original creator decides to stop doing them for whatever reason?

Ugh. Just when I thought the world couldn't get any more soulless. I don't know why, but I'm just finding this oddly creepy.

In an ideal world, art would be free and artists would get by on their day jobs. However, we're soaking in a capitalist nightmare, not an ideal world.

I don't know. I think in my ideal world, artists could make a living doing what they're good at -- art would BE their day job. (That's assuming anyone needs a "day job" in said ideal world.)

Of course, I've worked in a place where artists can do that... and video games development companies are NOTHING LIKE an ideal world. Hmmm.

What the heck?
