Market musings

On Chapter 18 of the Wayward Astronomer novel illustrations, and it's so much fun!   Getting ready to send Geo samples.  Thinking ahead as I draw, about getting the Dreamkeepers comic site revamped- and breaking ground on our Quest for Distribution.

The #Comic market has so many entrenched problems- monopolized distribution, underfunded retailers with an atrophied customer base...  Having the internet around certainly hasn't made things easier for them.  But, at the end of the day, everyone wants a thriving comic market.

#Comic shops can't continue on this trajectory- a fresh, effective approach to help retailers is overdue.   I think there's an incredibly simple idea that might help everyone- publishers, retailers, customers...  Need to develop it a bit.
