supplemental reading: 30 years of comics wank...
...neatly summarized courtesy of the Village Voice in an article about Fantagraphics' current (latest) troubles:

http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0328/press.php

If you ever want a good hip-deep wade in wank (ew!), track down the book cited here about Harlan Ellison. Or the issue of The Comics Journal detailing the Michael Fleisher lawsuit. Or any issue of TCJ, really.

Oooh, thanks! I heart Fantagraphics, and this article is gonna give me Google-ing pleasure for DAYS.

I was sort of amazed the article made no mention of Peter Bagge, though...

Maybe it was Dan Clowes' turn.

Mr Ellison's book about writing "City on the Edge of Forever" is, while largely unrelated to the topic, also wanky in the extreme.

*shudders deeply*

Sometimes I love TCJ, but uhmmmmmm... usually not.

Also, once upon a time, Harlan Ellison was my favorite writer. That seems like a long time ago now.

Heh. Maybe so. Oddly enough I draw too, but I can't be bothered to scan it very often. Also I'm not as good as you. ;-)

Well I'll proably be tasting my kneecaps here since I've been out of the funky-comics scene once TokyoPop started translating and selling every CLAMP manga known to man but...

Isn't this kinda like PBS? You know maybe you should just get over yourself and advertise like every other company out there instead of begging your fans for money?

Just a thought.

Don't hurt me.

Not that I particularly care, but they're begging their fans to buy their product. And they do advertise.

Good God. Didn't that deteriorate to the point where he started making fun of her surname?
