Very, very few comic book creators can survive on just the money they make from comics. It is an inherently unstable job and it is only getting worse as time goes on. Don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed of needing another job so that you can keep making comics.
Not being able to make a living just from your art doesn't make you a failure as an artist, it just means you're a totally normal working artist.

This is my lifestyle brand.
Detailed engraving of an elderly woman sitting at a table holding a saucer in one hand. A shorthaired cat is standing on her shoulders, rubbing affectionately against her head. The woman looks fondly at the cat.

Buffins! From the book ‘Cats Cats Cats Cats Cats Cats’ by John R. Gilbert, 1961.
Black and white photo of a very cute shorthaired white cat with symmetrical black markings on the sides of its head, looking with a wide eyed expression at the viewer. Text below the photo reads “Buffins, winner of the title of Cat with the Most Appealing Expression in 1958.
