But it's not always fine to be an artist, especially a Comics-maker.&lt;br /&gt;Let me tell you a little story. I used to visit a friend of mine (a girl) who was in my neighborhood. Her mother after some few visits started paying attention to me. And one day, she finally asked her daughter :&lt;br /&gt;-"Your friend is cute and a handsome boy. He could be a very good boyfriend, couldn't he?&lt;br /&gt;- I noticed it too, but I don't know,  replied the girl in a shyly way.&lt;br /&gt;- What did he study? went the mother on asking&lt;br /&gt;- He attended a Business School programme somewhere&lt;br /&gt;- And what job does he do now? Commercial officer ? Marketing manager ? Continued the mother&lt;br /&gt;- Not at all. He's cartoonist, he draws comics, answered the daughter. And actually he has been working for an editing company for about six years and...&lt;br /&gt;- No, no I'm not talking about his hobby I am talking about his REAL JOB.&lt;br /&gt;The final words let her daughter speechless.&lt;br /&gt;Yet the mother of my friend is an INTELLECTUAL woman working for the Health Department in CI. You got it... Drawing is very funny, Amusing but not serious and Money-making according to many Ivorian lth departement in and the most part in Africa.&lt;br /&gt;It would be suicidal for you to be a Comics-maker if you can't assume your status... yeah really. So fellow-comics maker get ready to struggle to impose yourself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8721887521423620140-8345518319538895530?l=conceveo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conceveo.blogspot.com/feeds/8345518319538895530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://conceveo.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-draw-so-i-struggle-part-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8721887521423620140/posts/default/8345518319538895530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8721887521423620140/posts/default/8345518319538895530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conceveo.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-draw-so-i-struggle-part-1.html' title='I DRAW so I STRUGGLE (part 1)'/><author><name>Fabrice Dan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14788565760795601746</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02251414088495815865'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-on2B7GCKhwk/Te2mR7Ent9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/MhjY24CULg8/s72-c/Awatta+sketch.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
