CzarChasm posted:Wanted to share the news He's leaving out an important part in order to pretend that The Man is cancelling him. Lee Enterprises slashed the comics in the 77 newspapers it owns (including mine) to a B&W half page which is uniform across all properties. We're left with Garfield, Baby Blues, Peanuts reruns, Foob reruns, Pearls, Pickles, Crabgrass, and Luann. Everything else, including but very much not limited to Dilbert is "cancelled."

It doesn't affect me much because this thread is my comics page, but They're slowly doing to the papers what Clear Channel did to the radio. Anything that can be homogenized, centralized, and single-sourced will replace anything local and individualized. I know Heart of the City isn't a thread favorite and I sure am not the target audience, but Steenz is a local and they got cut from their own local paper. gently caress media consolidation.

While it's bad news for comic strips as a whole, it is pretty good news specifically about Dilbert. I'm glad to hear Crabgrass made the cut.Julet Esqu posted:

When Adams does eventually address the context of this, he will claim he did not try to make this about himself, but people read intentions in his tweet that he did not have, thus it is everyone else's fault. Slammy posted:Bootsie’s Big ‘50s

One of my locals dropped almost everything they were carrying for the new corporate-mandated one-size-fits-all format. Sally Forth, Judge Parker, Wallace The Brave, Zits...and, of course, the one done by the only cartoonist that matters to Scott Adams. Man's burning a lot of industry bridges today. And yeah, it's another paper picked up for Crabgrass, but nooooo, not like this. Anyway, I got so caught up in this stuff that you're getting a half portion tonight. Once again, my shabby work ethic is legendary. Dok's Dippy Sword (Which Was Mightier Than Pen) (May 11, 1914)  Little Lefty, featuring the resolution of a deeply weird cliffhanger and the last cameo you were expecting tonight. (May 20-22, 1937)    Del (and the Worker, which never saw an industrial action it didn't like) is throwing support to one of the earliest animation studio strikes, when the Commercial Artists and Designers Union staged what would turn into a five-month walkout on the Fleischer Bros. studio. These days it's seen as a harbinger of the better-known (and much shorter) Disney strike of 1941, but the New York strike won the first union contracts in the industry, so attention should be paid. The year after the strikers came back to work, Max and Dave moved their studio to Florida, where the labor movement didn't have as much of a presence. Imagine that. The picture in the JSOTR article is from the Worker, by the way. What the Depression-era Reds would say about it getting absorbed into a content licensing corporation like Getty is anybody's guess, but I have my suspicions.  Blondie From Zero (November 10-12, 1932)

Kazinsal posted:I would love to see some data that proves that Dana "Raine Dog" Simpson outsells Marvel loving Comics. I assume she means that she outsells particular comics published by Marvel, not Marvel Comics as a whole. And she specified "graphic novel", which I assume is a specific segment of the total comic book market (although I have no idea what makes one a graphic novel and another not).

lmao at Jules trying to slip in that Trail with its clear laziness is getting over any quality standards. I'd say I'm surprised Luann made the cut but at least the art in that one is consistently decent. I'd believe anything outsells Marvel comics. Comics have been dying for awhile.

YA graphic novels sell bucket loads because they can sell direct to schools and other places superhero comics get little respect. Raina was outselling a lot of the general book market for a good few years, dunno if she still does.
