      To win a Republican Party Primary while still being remotely electable to the sane people of the wider electorate.

      Oh, and fight Satan for the soul of America, while living on a moon base with a family pet strapped to my car and earning millions while still claiming I do my own laundry.

      Getting paid. Well, more precisely, getting paid to do something *I wanted to do anyway*. When that happens, it's amazing and I'm humbled.

      So glad you didn't say "Publisher". Because, if you photocopy a dozen copies of your art, well, you're a publisher. I'm a publisher. But dealing with corporations is very different.

      So, realistically? Mine. I'm looking to change the way I operate quite a bit, in the future, to avoid past mistakes & horrible compromises and the stifling of my creativity. ( & business deals ) Because ultimately, what I have learned the hard way with any other corporation, is what Daft Punk espouse:

      "We live in a society where money is what people want, so they can't get the control. We chose. Control is freedom. People say we're control freaks, but control is controlling your destiny without controlling other people. We're not trying to manipulate other people, just controlling what we do ourselves. Controlling what we do is being free. People should stop thinking that an artist that controls what he does is a bad thing. A lot of artists today are just victims, not having control, and they're not free. And that's pathetic. If you start being dependent on money, then money has to reach a point to fit your expenses"

      Many comic creators are waking up. And I love it.

      Well they sell my art still but I don't get any of the proceeds. I sell and will sell my own art from now on. Via my own central store, which I'm still setting up.

      To start afresh & escape the influence of unhealthy people who did nothing but stop me doing comics!

      I'd go to the planet Republicans keep referring to. Reaganland I think it's called. Everything was better then. And there was no taxes.

      Because of their predisposition to murder people, have bad breath, fart in elevators, not open doors for others and the prophesized causing of the End Times. Called Gingergeddon.

      I think it's nice to finally have some people who realize the root causes of the decline of America finally be in the corporate news. I cannot fault their aims & goals. I'd perhaps go further & put a .5% tax on all share & derivatives transactions. It's time wallstreet paid tax to make America strong again. Conservatives long ago lost their way & veer more & more far right with each election. Eisenhower was the good stuff. People forget where the center used to be because the corporations have bought policy for decades.
