Speaking as a cartoonist, the point is that once you have written something, it exists by itself. YOu can practically read it as though it had been written by someone else. I mean, it imposes its own imaginative rules on you. Joss is a great artist because he knows what works and does not work with his character; there is internal consistency. But other people can achieve it, because a character once created has a life of his or her own.
