I stumbled across this quote at Mark Evanier's blog:
There are other means of getting your product into comic book shops but no known success stories that prove that. If I were publishing and Diamond wouldn't carry my wares, I'd stop publishing and go do something more promising than distributing to comic shops without Diamond. Like opening a CompUSA in Amish country.
The number of people reading Threshold who are likely to understand why I find that comment funny is probably extremely small (I'm looking at you, Scott), but take my word for it; it's funny. Not necessarily "roling on the floor in a paroxysm of uncontrollable laughter" funny. Just funny.
I'm not going to bother explaining it, as that would rob it of whatever power it has to amuse.
In any case, the whole reason I was at Mark Evanier's blog in the first place was that I had followed a link from www.neilgaiman.com about super-hero postage stamps.
Pretty cool, and apparently there are Marvel Comics versions in the works as well.
