Quackcast 66 needs contributions: WHY do you do webcomics?

Well I've always loved telling stories and I feel like I've been looking for the right medium to do it for all my life.
I had made some attempts at drawing comics in the past, but my drawings never convinced me and I couldn't even get past the first page. But then, one night almost two months ago  I felt a sudden surge of inspiration and started drawing my comic "Lena". Somehow I managed to stop critizicing my work so much and finished like 3 pages in a row. It's all blurry now and I don't really remember the details but that's more or less how it all started. XD
Now why do I do it? Uhm… because I really enjoy it. I love creating new worlds and characters, telling stories, drawing… I spend my entire day making up stuff in my head, if I'm not doing that then I'm probably sleeping or dead. And webcomics I think are one of the best possible ways to download all that stuff into reality and actually make something real and permanent out of it, at least for me. And now that I discovered that some people actually like my stuff, well I just got one more extra reason to keep working on it. :)

Thanks, lenadventures! Wow…I love the magic of inspiration in your story. It's certainly working out for you creatively!

The final recording from skookmunkee and your post sum things up so nicely, and came in right at the perfect time, as I'm assembling this exploration of "whys and wherefores."

Thanks to everyone for your stories and thoughts on the "Whys and Wherefores"! I'm lockin' up the Quackcast and I guess it'll reach you early next week as usual.
It was a treat reading all of your posts.
Much appreciated!
