I was still at school when IPC were publishing that comic, and wasn't born when the original Mickey Mouse Weekly was around. :D Lew Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260048632152445875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-78476906925323425232020-03-20T17:01:18.948+00:002020-03-20T17:01:18.948+00:00On a completely different note, and piggy backing ...On a completely different note, and piggy backing onto this thread, have you ever drawn a Mickey Mouse strip, Lew? I’ve just seen one for Mickey Mouse Weekly from IPC. It’s certainly Stringeresque.Christopher Nevellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-60225960851082155722020-03-19T18:54:30.989+00:002020-03-19T18:54:30.989+00:00Thanks James.

In terms of comics, the war caused a LOT of titles to cease, and a lot of what survived reduced frequency. But this Coronavirus has the potential to shut down Beano and Phoenix among others for months (2000AD will probably already be having problems getting into US comic shops unless they actually print it there) - while the writing and drawing of stories won't be an issue as creators often work from home anyway, publishing and distribution, at least in print, is a potential problem. With the conventions already off too, obviously, you're right to watch the pennies. You have to prepare for the worst case scenario, even if it turns out things carry on mostly as normal. Good luck, and let's hope this is over sooner than later.James Spiringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12969271488725528823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-59385665966256656592020-03-19T01:06:06.055+00:002020-03-19T01:06:06.055+00:00Thanks Ryan.

I can see most of this matter being dealt with within 3 months max. Not saying completely dealing with everything, but the most part and things should calm down by then.<br /><br />Hope you remember to take care and your health comes first, then your main stream work, then you can think about Self publishing stuff. Don't get into a situation where you feel pressured to do stuff. It's not a fantastic situation but we are doing fairly well, but there is a lot of scaremongering which is having a lot of bad effects on people (my mother has some health problems which, while she is trying to keep calm, the way everyone is panicking is stressing her out more and leading to more heart issues.. but it's very minor right now so.. that's good).. at least it's only really America that seams to be having major issues with people selling fake 'home testing kits' and 'cures'.. I'm a bit surprised the evil Gwyneth Paltrow hasn't chimed in on that with another one of her life threating 'treatments'.. (.. some of the stuff her and her company try to sell you CAN and has lead to MAJOR problems.. though I think you need to be over 18 to find out about some like the stones ¬_¬)..<br /><br />anyway.. Fear to a degree is good. Caution is good, Panic is bad.Manic Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02848336835961917079noreply@blogger.com
