But what does it take to get there and what is it like to work as a comic book professional? This episode takes a look at four comic books that discuss just that: The Dreamer by Will Eisner, Pussey! by Daniel Clowes, Bakuman by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, and Blank Canvas: My So-Called Artist's Journey by Akiko Higashimura. The sacrifices, knowledge, and lifestyle are discussed across different eras by different creators.
