Thanks for the kind words.
Glad you enjo...Hi Jon,<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the series.<br /> <br />I also hope that editors, publishers and some creators too read them and look at what has happened.<br /><br />We are already seeing the start of a backlash against the negative side of the "grim and gritty - no fun" comics syndrome, thank goodness.<br /><br />I noticed you had mentioned and linked to the series on your Twitter page, thanks a lot for that.<br /><br />Looks like the crusade for bringing fun back into comics is starting to bear some fruit though, so I am hopeful for the future.<br /><br />As I have said there is a place for many different kinds of comics, but we need a big return to having fun with them too.<br /><br />I have more comics based Blogs in the pipeline, but with Worlds End taking a big part of my working day now, along with other commercial projects like children's books, they are having to take more of a back seat for a short while.<br /><br />Best,<br />Tim...<br />("j)Tim Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294479227558605215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398908376267298361.post-19741781690777715762010-03-18T14:43:40.887+00:002010-03-18T14:43:40.887+00:00really good three part focus on comics tim, food f...really good three part focus on comics tim, food for thought i hope some editors and publishers read it .<br />very interesting read and a good reminder whats been going on over the years thanks for posting i mentioned this on my twitter page.jon hawardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692077738228873453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398908376267298361.post-11522291190369939732010-03-02T15:13:52.203+00:002010-03-02T15:13:52.203+00:00Hi Simon,

Thanks for your kind words.
Yes, as yo...Hi Peter,<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words.<br /><br />Yes, as you rightly say, although I always assess things through the worse case scenario (that way one tries to learn from the information and <i><b>try</b></i> to avoid pitfalls), but overall I try to see the good out of all things.<br /><br />We really do need to re-assess the current situation, but, as I have mentioned a few times lately here on my Blog, I feel there is already a movement towards new avenues, first with a handful of and now growing number of creators wanting to do their own thing(s) and have fun again and more recently with an ever-increasing number of fans/collectors/parents, who really want the same things.<br /><br />New technology has helped creative folks to take control of the product and maybe it will be similar advances in technology, which help the growth of the medium and a return to seeing kids reading our work again.<br /><br />I really am sure it is only a matter of time now, before we see something happen for the greater good.<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Tim...<br />(''j)Tim Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294479227558605215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398908376267298361.post-29539920930975012942010-02-28T15:22:44.032+00:002010-02-28T15:22:44.032+00:00Sobering reading Tim and a well reasoned call for ...Sobering reading Tim and a well reasoned call for a re-assesment of just where the future of comics lies.<br /><br />I think reading between the lines, like me you're a short term pessimist and a long term optimist.<br /><br />I'm sure thing will improve but there's going to have to be some serious changes made and the new technology which is developing faster than people's perceptions on how best to harness it for the benefit of publishing in general and comics in particular provides the best hope for the future.Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398908376267298361.post-23353845293405225992010-02-27T16:26:29.483+00:002010-02-27T16:26:29.483+00:00Hi Peter,
