No Money In COMICS? News to me....

Posted by UNDERNATION - May 9th, 2012


So New Olreans is still behind in most ways. I don't really care really, most places that are lagging behind modernity stay fun longer. There are a precious few places you can still have fun in America with a gallon of lighter fluid, PVC pipe, Mountain Dew, and 15 cents. One bummer is that we don't have much of a comix scene, one of many things Seattle has on us. One man, ironically called Caesar, has been working hard to put out an annual free comics anthology for last few years. There's been two issues, all beautifully printed. Everyone sort of works for free, including Caesar, but this year he wanted to try and kick the vast number of contributors (including yours truly) some cash in exchange for our hard won comix. This printing costs also come our of Caesar's pocket, which is a bit much on a security guards salary. I suggested we rob yuppies in the French Quarter by threatening to take they're daiquiris away, but Caesar pointed out our hands would get cold so we scratched it, and of course they'd see Caesar's name on his uniform and we'd be done for.

I'm sure by now you've guessed this is an appeal for money, and it is. It would be cool if ya'll kicked in a dollar so we can keep printing this awesome anthology in our burning hellish isle of oil slicks and deep-fried sausage. After all isn't worth having comix come out of a place that isn't nice for once!? Pessimism is reason enough, but not so much that you question the validity of print media in a digital world. Don't think about that. Stop it thinking about it. Stop it.

PS. There's a new comic in my art section!!!

It's times like this, I wish I didn't waste my money on video games and fast food when I had a job. Now I'm living on bread, potatoes and whatever meals-on-wheels brings my pop. On the plus side, my buddy from Washington state sent me some artichoke bulbs and an envelope of magic beans.
You ever get up this way in late summer, lunch is on me.

that's good enough for me. I always have wanted to go back to washington...
