Dear Pepper: What a Way to Make a Livin'
Briefly

In this advice comic, Liana Finck addresses the struggles of an artist-parent attempting to balance an unstable art career with the responsibilities of a new baby. The writer expresses a desire for a stable job to secure health insurance, yet fears the constraints of a fixed schedule. Finck emphasizes that while the need for stability is often associated with traditional jobs, artists also require reliability, especially when it comes to providing for children and managing unpredictable work patterns.
For the most part, artists don't have that kind of stability. We also don't have that kind of constriction.
Children crave stability...having reliable care that doesn't evaporate at the last minute.
