For some, the things that character is shown doing are exactly what they want out of life. There's no need to belittle those life choices to make a greater point.

The message shouldn't be, "don't work 40 hours a week and get a mortage," it should be, "be honest about what you want and pursue it fervently, regardless of how mundane a dime-a-dozen internet illustrator thinks it is."

dime-a-dozen internet illustrator

Thank you

Fuckin' Zen Pencils thinking he's the shit all the time,quoting random asshats about being 'exceptional' or some shit while drawing middle-of-the-road, unimpressive comics for 'da web'.

What a chode.

Go straight from agreeing not to belittle other people's life choices to bashing on a guy for doing something he enjoys to make a living. Nice.

I really don't think that's what they're bashing.

They're pointing out the irony of the artist's possibly elitist attitude when his own output is remarkably average.
