A comic dealer I know had some beat up old Golden Age comics. Stuff nobody wanted. He stood up at a convention and yelled, "If no one buys these from me within thirty minutes, I'm going to tear them up!" They were funny animal comics--obscure, but Golden Age. I just didn't feel like buying them, but didn't think he'd go through with his threat. Thirty minutes later, I was horrified to see Earl stand up on a chair and shred the Golden Age comics into many bits and toss them around his booth. He really did it.<BR/><BR/>Even seeing crappy old comics torn up bothers me. Oy.<BR/><BR/>So...did you sell a book? My experience with British publishers is that they are MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE POLITE than American publishers. I've only dealt with a couple through the mails, but they were soooooooo damned nice! They didn't buy any of my novels, but golly they sure were nice about it.James Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281049641681225389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19273409.post-42708431699761432662008-05-21T12:51:00.000-04:002008-05-21T12:51:00.000-04:00British food native to the Isle is uniformly sucky...British food native to the Isle is uniformly sucky. There is no such thing as good British food. They BOIL VEGETABLES for crying out loud! The only thing edible there has been imported from somewhere else, usually one of the countries they have conquered or invaded. Even the frick'in tea came from China!<BR/><BR/>The success of the British empire is undoubtedly based on the fact that they were desperate for food that tasted like something other than Haggis.Jed Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833411175703626635noreply@blogger.com
