But to me what seems to be missing in a lot of portfolios is Cartooning.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of people feel that there is less artistry involved in cartoon making unless they have painstaking control of each frame.
I'm going to do whatever interests me. Look, writing 'Rabbit Hole' came out of an interest in diversifying my portfolio, frankly.
I've always defined myself not as a cartoonist, but as an entrepreneur. That was true before I tried cartooning. I always imagined cartooning would be how I got my seed capital. I always thought my other businesses would be the less dominant part of my life.
When business executives are making the artistic decisions and don't understand animation, things can go awry.
Cartooning is for people who can't quite draw and can't quite write. You combine the two half-talents and come up with a career.
The more playoff games and Super Bowls and things of that nature that you're in obviously is going to build your portfolio and raise your visibility.
People have these ideas about comic books and their adaptations as flashy and sort of surface-y, broad-strokes-type projects, but they're not, really.
You've always got to think about having some fixed income in your portfolio as well as equities.
Any cartoon that can be liked by a committee is really not worth drawing; in fact, must not be drawn at all! Better to become a stockbroker.
You want less of the annoying nonsense that interferes with your portfolios and more of the significant data that allow you to become a less distracted, more purposeful investor.
