From what I've seen, merchandise is the only income stream that really has a chance of making real profit, instead of just taking the edge off of costs. The only artist I can think of that made a living entirely on donations was RK Milholland, and that only lasted a year or two. There might be others, though, I don't keep up with all the popular comics.:)
