My best friend found this on twitter. I believe someone he follows posted it, found it in their local newspaper?
I figured I'd share

LOL, I saw a crop of the two middle panels on Twitter, but the full thing is great!
Every time someone asks me to do art 'for exposure' or otherwise for free, I joke that I'll die from it on the street waiting to pay for my food and bills. X3

Ha! This is so good. Forget people who want you to do it for 'exposure'. What they mean is that they don't think you can get paying clients, so they're not willing to pay you either... in which case they're the kind of client who can go suck an egg.
Even then you can get low-balled up from 'exposure' to selling your rights away so that they can use the image multiple times without paying you more than once! Artists rights are such a maze.
It's so crazy what people think they're entitled to! I love picking up art at conventions to hang on my walls, and would never dream of treating those artists with such disrespect.
On that same vein I just had someone ask me if I could write them an entire novella tonight for $40. Umm... no. Just, no.

Well, I mean, at least they were willing to pay you something over "hey, do it for exposure!"

I'd have to watch the thing again, but, this here reminds me of Bill Finger.

Oh, you're definitely right! If I ever try to tempt someone with exposure I hope they punch me right in the face.
