have you ever thought about going to an art college to learn how to be a cartoonist that is also good at making animation?

I've thought about this, and am pretty sure I don't want to do the whole education thing again. To be honest, I've mostly bullshitted my way through college, and I have a feeling those old habits would come back, even if it was a subject I really liked. And I've kinda gotten used to just looking up books and websites whenever a subject I don't know about comes up.

Also, what if I quit comics for a while, put another 4 years into learning animation art, become a well-qualified animator, prepare to enter the industry…. and then the United States explodes?
