Cuts to the chase
Nina as usual, says more in 3 panels than many say in pages.

    She trivialized a point in three sentences by creating a false dilemma between obscurity and prestige. In reality you can trade some quantity on that continuum for money depending on a plethora of factors too many and complex to trivialize.

      How is obscurity vs. prestige a false dilemma?
      
      Are you saying she should have included infamy? 'Cause you can't eat that either.
