But the expectation is that the hourly worker is going to be assigned blocks of time. A page rate is no different. The vast majority of comics of the time (and indeed today) were full installments, and that's what the expectation would have been. Draw the story, get paid in page increments. Work the day, get paid in hourly increments. It was a job.
