nah, its just that nobody has a sense of humor anymore.
Sales went down because the reading ability of liberals dropped from comic books down to watching The View and Jon Stewart.
In an age when kids with an internet connection can play games with anyone in the world, comic books are doomed.
This software has two effects. The first is that the artist can POSE the characters without redrawing the scene. That right there really cuts down the time to produce a comic.
The second is that the artist can probably put out a video with 100 times the scene/character changes in less time than needed to produce a comic.
The cost, to the artist, is dramatically reduced by simply producing a video.
There's not much money in it yet, so the artists have to keep their day jobs for a while longer, but the advertising bucks should eventually flow and a good 3D artist will make many times what the richest cartoonist ever made.
Take a look at TV advertising ~ that's 3D software at work. They are getting rid of the actors!
Is that real?
Liberal 'political correctness' has killed off sense of humor ... nobody dares say anything even seemingly humorous anymore, lest the 'offended police' beat them down.
Looks like the gay guy added to the Archie series didn’t help, after all...?
It was actually one of the first books I ever read.
Since I bothered to read your thesis, I have to agree the odds for it are good.
Everything he's associated with is about as appealing as a pile dog crap on the sidewalk.
When they start having women on the radio say things like, "I still believe!" you know they're scraping the bottom of thier barrels.
I think both Marvel and DC—now increasingly wary of their bottom lines in terms of profit—may have to seriously look at no longer supporting an unpopular President, because that attitude is seriously hurting comic book sales. They don’t want a repeat of the 1990’s when comic book sales plunged and caused serious losses at both DC and Marvel.
Not surprised. Liberals ruined The Reader’s Digest and National Geographic. Why not ruin comics as well?
Circa 1974 .. this MAD cover was an outrage in the marketplace! Store owners tore off its front cover on display for sale ... but I was a MAD subscriber at the time and got mine in the mail directly from 485 MADison Ave NY NY ...intact. Heeheheheee
Still have it to this day :)
I gave up on comics books many years ago, after the price went over a buck a book. Comics were disposable entertainment, nothing more.
Technology and the internet. Why should a kid go to the store and buy tame comic books when he can go online and get explicit hentai comics in the privacy of his own room?
Wow! You have a red X from 1974. Coolio!
