I think the financial side is more of an issue than the quality or quantity of the art. The methods and likelihood of making a living from producing comics keep changing.
With a touch-enabled tablet in every hand, pretending to be a phone, more people find time to take up an interest in art and exercise their wit, such as it may be. Millions more people trying can be hundreds of fairly successful web comics.
True! All of life now is a celebrity roast, where all the comics actually hate the roastee. It’s more a reflection of the weaknesses and shortcomings of those attempting to be comical.
Present company obviously excepted: Teresa and her devoted minions.
I don’t know how it came about but here’s our old friend from the past, Joe-Allen (who “LOVED” FA, so much!!!):
“My sign is Groceries. I was born in a house in Tiawah, Oklahoma that had previously been a grocery store. And when I taught in Webb City, Missouri, I rented a place on “Broadway” that had originally been a hamburger stand, at night by street light, was HAMBURGERS."
That is a fine looking Lady of Fashion (with apologies to The Teenie Weenies)!
But I am not sure whether her fine chapeau is decorated with a talkative blackbird, or if an ominous Blackbird (albeit not an SR-71) is swooping around her head!

Snarky comments aside, the art is primo today.
P.S. To snarkily paraphrase Woody from Cheers, too derivative of Hitchcock.
