"Sometimes you have to endure 20 years of ridicule before getting your bathtub of millions."
Anyone else remember the days of Image Comics, and how Todd McFarlane was KING OF THE WORLD, where Spawn was the biggest selling comic of all time OF ALL TIME, with toys and video games and animated 90's cartoons and every issue is bagged for future investment returns and if Rob would maybe stop phoning him up at night for help maybe MAYBE he would let him draw an issue of Spawn and maybe it will feature a Youngblood character and HOLY SHIT BRACE YOURSELVES THE SPAWN MOVIE IS COMING IT'S THE SECOND SUPERMAN FRANCHISE….
Look at Tod now. Look at Spawn now.
Now look at Rob and Deadpool. Look at the dolla dolla bills flowing into Rob's bathtub. Deadpool rules the world.
Rob endured decades of mockery, ridicule and open and public hate. He was the industry's biggest, lowest-hanging punching bag. Generations of artists and writers parodied him specifically. Day after day, for DECADES.
But he never stopped. Never quit comics. Never stopped drawing. HE NEVER, EVER STOPPED. Now he has trucks full of cash duping their load on his front lawn. And more on the way.
Now look at Todd and Spawn. Look at Todd's life this past decade: endless bankruptcy and lawsuits.
