still hoping to get the second batch of the latest Combat Colin in a second printing soon?
When I can afford it, yes. Not earning a lot due to chronic fatigue and bills to pay first.
Health comes first
It does, but I still need to make a living. No sick pay for the self employed, and I'm not incapacitated enough yet for other benefits. It's a crap situation really.
Combat 3 came out years ago and you still aint sold out.
Yes Anon. That's because I had a far bigger print run on issue 3.
Yes, that's precisely the tragic and frustrating dilemma many people end up facing. Health professionals say we should prioritise our mental and physical well being, but very few of us have the luxury to quit work to do that. If you're aging, ill, incapacitated or a single parent or carer, you have to keep struggling on earning a wage , sometimes directly disobeying medical advice and shortening your life.
I'm about the same age as you (and I suspect many of the other commentators) but probably luckier than most. My health is failing but very manageable and I can keep working excessive hours. But it's sobering to realise i will have to work until I drop to facilitate the ongoing care of my very ill wife and my dying mother. A very close friend with similar problems always says "remember, there is no one coming for us".
21st century Britain is not what I expected when i was a child reading Dan Dare and watching Gerry Anderson's TV shows. It's more Orwell than Hampson
Lew, you're in an awful position and while you have my sympathy and best wishes, that's no practical help, is it? You do have a loyal following among British comic fans and you shouldn't hesitate to reach out via crowd funding or similar channels if your circumstances deteriorate further. In the meantime, even though it's more work to do, keep on with the auctions and art sales and we'll bid on what we can.
Thanks Tony. Wishing you and your family the very best.
