Yes, you should remove it to avoid bee misunderstood by people who might think that you are a Christian or a supporter. The Christian drawings depicting Jesus are not true and should not claim something which is not true.

Dramatic performance showing people the tragedies of Ahlul Bayt (AS) and their followers is good as far it is done within the frame of Shariah. Doing ion Imambara or zHusainiyyah depends on the situation of the place and what the trustees or Mutawalli sees suitable.

It depends on the nature of the work. It is allowed as far as the key lighting has really clean content according to Islamic rules and values.  

If the work has any act which is unlawful in Islam e,g, non Hijab, songs , sinful music etc, then any participation in it including key lighting will not be permissible, but if it does not have any unlawful act, then it will be allowed.

Wassalam.

If the person who is posting such material claims falsely that the material is his material, it will a lie and a sinful act.

If he does not claim any wrong claim but he is just posting a material for the benefit of people, with out harming any one, then it is allowed to spread useful knowledge which helps people and does not cause harm to any one.

Yes it is allowed to become a comic artist as far as it does not insult or degrade others or promote falsehood.

Comic art is like any other fine art which must promote noble values, not otherwise.

Unfortunately , we see now a days many artists promote wrong ideas and wrong practices under different slogans like freedom of speech or personal sexual freedom causing misleading lay people and making them suffer, instead of guiding them to the real values which leads to successful life.

There would be no problem with drawing or painting. Such an art is a valued talent and indeed must be appreciated.  

A problem would arise if:

1. You are making full sculptures of humans or animals. If it is something that has a "soul", then it is not permitted to make a sculpture of it. 

2. It is a promoting of anything that represents any deviancy, immorality, or anything un-Islamic.

And Allah knows best.
