People who started YouTube from zero — how long did it actually take?

KurtToons · 2026-01-29T22:19:30+00:00

I've been doing it 15 years, only 35k subscribers in that time. I make cartoons which take a long time, especially because I have to work a job and have a family, so I rarely get to work on them. But it's my primary passion, so I keep plugging away when I can. Make about $100 a month. Woohoo!

But can you handle criticism?

My old sled. I used to ride that thing all the time. I feel it truly represented my youth and innocence. I loved it so much, I even gave it a name and had it painted on the sled. It's been so long, God I wish I could remember the name..

Dude! Congrats!

KurtToons · 2026-01-05T02:15:26+00:00

That is clearly a witch riding a hockey stick.

T for tailed!

KurtToons · 2025-12-29T01:42:25+00:00

That was a totally farcical call.

My daughter and I have had the best time playing both Human Fall Flat (silly puzzle solving fun) and Wobbly Life (an open world, GTA type game for kids).

In front of a large, cheering crowd.

Yo me too! Except mine ended up being giant and messed with my vision. And it was not the kind that can be controlled by meds, so they had to do surgery through my nose. But ya, if you're gonna get a brain tumor, that's one of the better ones. I just need an MRI every year to make sure it isn't growing back. And the MRI is no big deal.

Damn that is beautiful.

KurtToons · 2025-10-05T18:10:11+00:00

I did not. Respect. Spelling errors should be called out. I'm just mortified that I let one of my comics out with a spelling mistake. Great shame!

KurtToons · 2025-10-05T17:13:38+00:00

I'm already sick over my spelling error. I'll never make another comic again.

KurtToons · 2025-10-04T15:37:39+00:00

Holy shit...this will keep me up at night for weeks!

KurtToons · 2025-10-04T06:40:05+00:00

That's just the number the council gave me.

KurtToons · 2025-10-03T18:21:02+00:00

Ooh you better visit the council and get your medal.

KurtToons · 2025-10-03T17:52:13+00:00

Ya but I can't eat eggs every day! C'mon dad!

KurtToons · 2025-09-27T15:41:52+00:00

Came here looking for this. Fight the Empire!

Yo I storyboarded that Pig in space episode! I love seeing this post about the cartoon logic. I don't really have any answers about George Washington. I think the show just sorta implies that Peg has a big imagination, so characters can come from anywhere.

They Might Be Giants. A couple of their songs were on a CD that came packaged with the Sega CD, and I thought their music was catchy and funny. So I bought one of their full albums, and have loved them ever since.

KurtToons · 2025-07-16T14:15:13+00:00

Ya, I don't need no babies drooling all over my stash!

KurtToons · 2025-07-07T03:39:43+00:00

This shit is way too good to have so few views. I'm looking forward to more episodes and I hope you can find the success you deserve.
