it's funny how i sit here, preparing to go to a job, that has nothing to do with what i want to do, and yet i still look back on where i went wrong, or what could've been. then i read this..

Sure, the medium is still viable and profitable for cartoonists who started 10+ years ago, but for young cartoonists hoping to start a career, it’s an industry virtually in its death-throes. Even if you were successfully launched by a syndicate tomorrow, it’s a pyrrhic victory:

over an over i was told, "i wasn't getting in". yet there i was year after year with my portfolio. so thanks fellas, i'l be picking up a copy..

peace out

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! Since it wasn't mentioned above, I'll just add that you can reserve your pre-order copy at any one of our online stores for delivery in early March:

Sheldon
PvP
Starslip
Evil Inc

...purchases made from our own stores gives a larger percentage to the authors, and is of course distributed equally to all four -- so feel free to order from any one you like.

Thanks!
Dave

d'oh! i already pre-ordered from amazon... curse you amazon, curse you..!

anyway, on to some good ol' falmin'..

i thought it was pretty bold to state that paper comics are on, " an easily charted trend - straight down". is that a specific reference to strips in newspapers, or a general statement of any printed comic?
