Day in the Life of an Idiot

The first fan letter I wrote (I was 13) was to a fan named Rick Norwood (who wrote the cover story on a recent issue of F&SF -- a few other sales). Rick was talking, in the letter column of *Strange Adventures,* about recruiting comic fans to s-f fandom. When he wrote me back, he said that as far as pros go, the trend is for s-f writers to slide over to be comic writers, because comics pay more. 48 years later, I find Rick's comments baffling. Can you think of one s-f writer who went over to writing comics because comics pay better? I can't!
