Would love to see buying digital comics also be a way of supporting my LCS...
I'd be down with the reverse too.
Like, can I get the digital copy the week it comes out and then that pays for the collected edition.
Would pay a premium for that option on some titles.

Paging all the IP attorneys working at Big Law wondering what they can do to help fight fascists. If Disney can go after daycare centers for poorly-drawn Mickey Mouse murals, then musicians need to sue the shit out of Trump’s Gestapo
Bravo to Olivia Rodrigo for demanding DHS and the White House not use her music in its propaganda video. Now, it's time for a long list of artists to do the same including Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Tim Robinson, and Seth MacFarlane.

Wyoming (population of fewer than 600k people) has just as many Senators as California (population of close to 40 million people). That seems like quite a lot of influence.

Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."
