There are many important ethical and moral considerations for illustrators working in this area. For example, they should consider how their work will be interpreted and what connections the themes and events of their work have to real life. They should avoid harmful rhetoric in their work.

Because many online comics are done digitally, there is less environmental concern when it comes to paper usage and material waste. However if a comic was to be physically published an illustrator should consider the environmental impact of that.

Illustrators with an understanding of equality and diversity can allow a wider audience to see themselves in their work and also allow those who aren’t part of that group to understand their stories and struggles.
