I've noticed an interesting trend in debates regarding comic creators. Usually, a person will dislike a "creator." i.e. I really don't like so and so's writing, or Blankety Blank is an overrated artist. Sometimes, the disliker is just being belligerent and looking for confrontations, but on a few occasions someone brings up a good point. The debate will go on, and eventually someone will say, "You try doing what they do!" That's one of the most bogus arguments defending someone's merit. The mere fact that someone is doing a job that isn't easy doesn't mean they become immune to criticism from those who can't do said job. For example, let's say I go to a doctor, and he/she misdiagnoses me or botches an operation. I am going to be pissed. And if someone said, "Hey, you try going to medical school and figuring out what makes people sick." I'd probably want to hit them. So yeah, writing and art are both challenging, but they signed up for it, and it's their job to be the best they can be (like the old Army commercials).
