That’ll serve them right. Ha ha. OK, so you might end up homeless, but you would have the moral high-ground. Whether that would be sufficient to keep you warm and dry when Winter comes around I can’t be certain…<br />A less radical plan might be for “anonymous” to GET A F#*KING GRIP on reality and stop being suck an entitled d1ck. 😤🤬<br /><br />Elliesdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265204443922617741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-29547814297648307792022-08-21T10:59:02.265+01:002022-08-21T10:59:02.265+01:00I suspect he's trolling, or feels entitled.

I don't enjoy admin work and like to keep things simple; for readers to order the comics when they're printed and I post them out. <br /><br />Combat Colin 5 (and other comics I had planned) would have appeared by now if I hadn't lost regular work in the pandemic when publishers cut back on material. Then other factors came into play, plus the now-soaring cost of living, and it all piles on. I wonder if our anonymous friend has ever published anything in their life? <br /><br />Lew Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260048632152445875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-57374896995630688192022-08-20T17:11:56.807+01:002022-08-20T17:11:56.807+01:00Hi Lew !

Glad you were able to enjoy a couple at least.<br /><br />But then I read some of the previous comments. I'm always staggered by some people's sense of entitlement. How do delays to Colin #5 have anything to do with the main point of your post? It's not like you'd have been selling it or taking orders at Blackpool or ICE. <br /><br />The anonymous crowd funding comment made me laugh. Just take a look at Kickstarter and the sheer number of fully-funded but non-delivered projects that have been languishing for years. <br /><br />Back on topic, your words struck a chord here. I've found the year since the great re-opening has been tougher than the actual lockdowns and pandemic. I'd like to think 2023 will be better but the signs aren't good. Still, got to stay optimistic and keep pushing onward.Tony Howsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-32100447053149959312022-08-20T15:35:39.317+01:002022-08-20T15:35:39.317+01:00I can't believe the comments on here today.
