@neilhimself Happy birthday! Thank you for authoring so much wonderful work, and also for being gracious enough to reply to a young English major seeking career guidance. I read Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics as you recommended, and realized I'm far happier as a consumer of graphic fiction. I minored in Business and Technical Communications, and incorporated that into my career as an IT professional. You and Mr. McCloud helped me find my path, and I'm profoundly grateful.
