Getting Small Press (Comics) To The Masses

Comicguy456 writes "At the recent Small Press & Alternative Comics Expo, a panel was held to discuss how to get the masses to check out indy comics. In this transcript, experts including Sean McKeever (The Waiting Place) and Max Ink (Amoeba Adventures) talk extensively about creating, selling, and marketing such books, as well as the small press industry in general. Manga is covered as well. " In many ways, the same advice here applies to people trying to get word about out bands/books/games etc etc.

I have found the way...

[Etymological Coward]

I propose that, in order to more effectively get comics to the masses (washed or unwashed), that we construct a giant worldwide network of these devices called "computers". These so-called computers would route data over a network - through satellites, over fields, and possibly even through thin air (we could call the last one 'Ethernet' - how funny would that be!).

This "network" of "computers" would be used by comic artists to publish their work at practically no cost. Each frame of their art would be piped into the homes of its comsumers over an ordinary phone line; they'd be compensated by overgrown conglomerates with too much VC money, who would pretend to their shareholders that this altruism was actually advertising.

I'd call this invention THE INTERNET. I'll file it right next to my patent application for the flying car - which is up for "review" next week, by the way.
