I quite like Johnny Wander, but I hope you keep trying OP. Make as many connections as you can with other artists, and get word spread about your comic. It is very easy to compare yourself, and that's cool, but I'd recommend looking at where Ota is now as a goal.

If you wanted to send me a link to your comic privately or whatnot, I'd definitely love it as I'm always looking for new comics to read.
