Chapter 216
Comelia chuckled, âThe more good news, the merrier, right? Are we on a lucky streak or what? So many good news lately!â
Abigail responded, âThatâs what they call âafter a storm comes a calm, I guess.â
Cornelia said, âI hope my good luck rubs off on you guys too.â
Zack chipped in, âHold on, let me speak.â
Comelia and Abigail responded, âSure, you go ahead.â
Zack revealed, âYour comic about college life that you drew back in university is suddenly a big hit.â
Cornelia asked in disbelief, âIsnât that series just a side project of ours? How did it become so popular all of a sudden?â
Zack explained, âWhen I first saw the stats, I thought there was some glitch in the system. But then I figured it out, the comic is so relatable that it resonated with a lot of students. Itâs gone viral on the internet, the digital sales alone in a month are this much.â
Zack flashed a number with his fingers, Cornelia could hardly believe her eyes, âAre you for real?â
The comic was a chronicle of her college life, recording all kinds of stuff that happened between her and her classmates on campus.
She never thought sheâd make a dime off it, let alone a big chunk of change, considering it was just a filler for the studioâs catalogue after graduation.
Zack said, âWhy would I lie to you? You think I can pull that kind of money out of thin air?â
Abigail reassured, âthereâs no need to doubt, itâs real. You gotta believe in your talent.â
Cornelia mused, âFeels like Iâm dreaming. If we keep making money like this, we could pay off the mortgage early and retire in advance.â
Abigail suggested, âArenât you working on that comic about getting hitched on a whim? I think you should put your story with Jeremy online, who knows, it might be a hit.â
âI only draw to record my life, Iâm not going to publish it.â
Cornelia liked to record her life in this way. In her latest comic, not only Jeremy, but also characters like Marcus and Ben made an
appearance.
The character Marcus in the comic was drawn according to the realâlife Marcus. But of course, the 2D character couldnât match the 3D reality.
As for Jeremy, Cornelia couldnât recall what he looked like, so she tried her best to make him even more handsome than Marcus.
Even if Cornelia didnât agree, Abigail respected her decision, âThatâs okay. Our studio has already signed with several excellent comics and made a great deal of income. In a few years, we might be able to buy Porsches for ourselves.â
The income of the studio was getting higher day by day, which made all three of them very happy.
Next up was to renovate the house.
Cornelia said, âJeremy recommended this interior designer who he said is really good. The designer suggested that he should visit the house with us when we take ownership. He will provide two design plans for us to consider.â
Abigail and Zack both agreed, âSounds good. We have nothing to lose here, letâs choose the best one. If everything goes smoothly, the bank should release the funds tomorrow. Then we can take the designer to see the house over the weekend.â
