I post a new version of this every other year or so, and every year comic book page rates stay the same. Five years ago, people were getting paid $240 in '25 dollars; today they are getting the same $150 a page.
The one about comic book page rates – again. News flash: Comic book page rates are STILL stagnant, after all these years, and for indie cartoonists it's even harder

Last time I checked my current rate at one publisher was $70 less than my starting rate there almost 20 years ago, when accounting for inflation. It'll be even worse now.

This is a good write up on the state of Funko and its relation to comics retailers
Though I'm definitely one of the people glad to see these things *possibly* go away. In no small part because they're one of the many examples of pop cultures growing homogeneity
