The CR Holiday Series Has Been Delayed



There were tech problems, on my end, with the recordings I made for several interviews to make up the core of this year's holiday interview series. This is now solved/they are now recovered, but not without several days of work lost waiting. My apologies. My ability to get work done in superhuman fashion on a travel day and my birthday was overestimated. I'll get to it this week. There are some good talks in there.

I promise CR will return to normal in the next few months. If things aren't back to normal by summer, I'll look into ending the site and finding a way to cover comics that I can achieve on a regular, reliable basis -- perhaps a weekly column for someone else. It will have been a solid, honorable run. This isn't economic forces but me living my life forces. The half-life thing we've seen at CR over the last couple of years really hasn't benefited anyone. I think I may be enabled a bit in the relative vacating of the industry news and commentary space by a lot of traditional players. I am so grateful for your support in this last try at course-correction, and very much on your side in any hesitation you may have. It should be fun, at least, to see what happens. We'll find out together.

I'll also be off social media for the duration of the year, just for productivity's sake. I'm always e-mailable at [email protected].

If I do go back to Facebook and Twitter and a few other things CR has tried, my hunch is I'll make a point of not answering any outreach or communication or business not directed through my primary e-mail. My informal note-taking from the last few weeks in preparation for 2017 shows this diffusion -- this thing where I'm answering like six different "phones," and my actual phone, according to the whims of the person contacting me -- is bad for productivity. So please make it a habit of directing your inquiries through this account. And write sometime. I miss you.

While you're waiting for the holiday series, please enjoy the Rowland Emett drawing above.
