ml - I won a scholarship. It's highly competitive... Only very few people get paid to do a doctorate. And I'm not boasting, but I am very good at academics. I graduated top of my year for my undergraduate studies.

So the money I get paid is not for teaching. They pay for my tuition fees and I get a grant to spend on living and books and stuff (it's not a huge amount, but it's free).
Sometimes I do some lectures for the uni for free, but if I do any serious work for them (like marking essays) they pay me for that separately.

I hardly go into university. I prefer to study at home...

I enjoy studying :) I have to work to make time for the other stuff though. It is hard work.
My comic updates have been less regular since I started my doctorate, I must say... I used to update very regularly.

Aw, thank you
I don't know what most of my readers think. Nobody's complained to me about the lack of updates recently... But only a few of them ever respond anyway.
I suppose it's more likely that if I'm not updating they stop reading.

What do you mean?
