Matthew Allison's Cankor!

Think I'll open an indie comics distribution biz. There's a need up here.

Would a carpetbagger in the comic industry be called a comicbagger? A stinkor's born every day.

By distribute, I mean just store them in the garage under the leaky roof, of course.

When I was 12 we kept our porn under a concrete splash block wrapped in plastic. It was all wormy and full of rollie pollies.

I mean that's my resume if you need help with the distribution scheme.

I'm pretty much stumped beyond "send money to artist; profit". Going to google rollie pollies now.

I did the unforgivable and made Matt send me one by paypal'ing him a quarter a day until he gave in. The extra paperwork almost broke him. The Beguiling consolidates indie orders in the US, and then ships them when they've got a load, so they still don't have stock. The Calgary connection (is that Inky Knuckles?) doesn't have it up, so I never managed to track that source down. Sold out now, so I don't care that the artist had to stop drawring, I got mine.

Yeah, I was waiting for the Inky Knuckles connection; Matt had said that he wasn't going to ship outside of the US, and I don't have the relationship with him that you do or the commitment to sending a quarter a day lol.

It does sound like a hassle to send stuff internationally these days, so I felt I had to sing the Canadian national anthem for the extra grief. "Thanks, sorry..."

The sold out thing might be temporary, so maybe don't panic. I have a hold for an extra copy at The Beguiling, which I could send you when that comes in, if you like.

I'm more than happy to take you up on that, Mr. M.

Sure, I'll check in with THE BEGUILING for news on when to expect copies.

A polybagger.

A polybagger.

I like this. But it also sounds like a sex thing.

Edit for example: "Those polybaggers in Utah look filthy with their ways."

Thanks to Mr. Barry M, I was able to roll into Toronto yesterday (well, drive REALLY damn slowly) and pick up a copy of this. I read it tonight. I will read it again. I like this stuff a great deal, and I like the personal stuff that Matt injects into it.

To put it in short form, I love Cankor and I'm a fan of this issue.

Thanks again, Barry. Who knew we'd go from Adelmania on DVDM to this?
