Hi Eli, Sorry you didnt think the post was funny. I have no beef with the book or the artists in it, all of whom I'm fans of and at least one of whom I'm friends with. My issue is with the series editor who's obnoxious screed a couple years ago libeled a company I've worked for for the past ten years. I'm not going to ask you to give a shit

Jesus, Silvie - regardless of what the hell happened at Fantagraphics, this is a pretty lame screed. All the cute "shall remain nameless" stuff is not a good way to convince anyone to give a shit. Also, I can't exactly ask you now to de-quote my message board remark, but I wish you hadn't used it that way - especially since you left out the context: that there are a bunch of other Fantagraphics artists in the book, which might kind of undercut the vendetta you're looking for.

Man, I hope the other guy didn't go.
