Seven For 2007: Make Seven Wishes for Next Year
in saying goodbye to 2006 by send in your few wishes for the New Year. No need to do as many as seven; I'd love to publish whatever you're thinking.
My Wishes For The Coming Year:
1. A return to printed comics for
Al Columbia
, building on the last few month's of creative activity at
AlColumbia.com.
2. That
Paul Karasik's book about Fletcher Hanks
is at least half as awesome as the book by
Paul Karasik
on
Fletcher Hanks
I can imagine in my head.
3.
Nobody dies this year because of a stupid cartoon.
4. A return to print for the greatest comic that people have the hardest time believing is a great comic before they read it: Harold Gray's
Little Orphan Annie
.
5. A book deal for
Barnaby
.
6. A just and happy ending to the
Gordon Lee
case.
7. A better distribution deal for
Fanfare/Ponent Mon
, who might as well be dropping their books from planes.
