How Many Pageviews = Success?

When I got this e-mail, I tried to find the site post in which I had addressed this topic. Although I know we've discussed this here, but I couldn't find a post that addressed it directly. So at the risk of treading some ground that longtime members may already be familiar with, I wanted to post this to make it easier for people who had a similar question.

Q: I'm sure this is a bigger question than I think it is, but I started my webcomic in January and Ithink I'm doing okay with pageviews (I only update twice a week) but is there an easy number to point to to say, "At this point, you are successful?"  Another Webcomic friend of mine said (he heard) that at 1000 pageviews a day, you can quite your day job.  I'm thinking this isn't true, since that's about where I'm at now.  And no money, not that I've tried yet.
