Lets hurry up.

You’ll forgive me for disappearing over the past few weeks, my only apology is everything I came to write. April was a terrible month, full of jobs, scholarships, Book Day, all the deadlines that have been and will be. And sweetly, whenever I tried to distract myself by going on Twitter (I know, it’s all my fault) I had to read so much of every stupid thing that broke my back that I fell to the ground. I love that everyone comes up with recipes to save the comics industry with a rough concept of how it works. Look, I don’t have a hot pad: we have no idea, neither you, nor me, nor anyone. But with so much empty nonsense, my empathy is where the backend loses its honorable name.
†The percentage model left to authors as copyright is outdated. Yes, BUT that’s not the only thing that needs to be reset. We’ve also touched on the traditional sales model because there are dozens of companies here that post and sell stuff on a wide variety of channels, but we always ignore it. Parné seems to be only available in local bookstores, but then we should take a look at what’s sold at Carrefour and Alcampo. Or at Latin American auctions. In our web stores. The question is, one small piece the authors overlooked is, at a time when it’s not so clear (I like your silence because you don’t exist) WHERE are agents, publishers, distributors, all agents in the industry doing this? not part of the production process: writing and drawing. We’re almost here for someone to call us Comic Book Commissioner. Look, I’ll call him. If you’ve ever caught the ice hump dromedary celebrating how well Boruto’s figures sell, then this is it. Don’t miss the merchant who really paid for the property reforms. I look forward to the moment when writers’ associations, now that there are so many, will set things on fire. And tell them I’m a partner, dammit.
†Fewer comics are published so the resulting works sell really well. homeowner. You opened my eyes. Of course, for example if I stop posting [cómic de humor sin muchas pretensiones] one of both [cómic juvenil de nicho] all this crowd goes [novela gráfica seria]† A seamless plan. We’d better stop thinking of comics as an absolute whole, where the audience is always the same and doesn’t come from any channel other than transmedia productions and derivatives. As if Heartstopper didn’t make it to the bestseller list thanks to the Netflix series. As if the big sales of the book Youtubers didn’t come from outside the paper circuit. Let yourself be disappointed: The best advice is to all be influencers.
†That we’d all start buying the manga they’re currently selling, making up for weaker national comic book sales. Another foolproof strategy. Just look at most of the top manga publishing companies, how many Spanish comics do they publish? And how much Spanish do you plan to acquire from those who have recently mastered manga? Stop the milongas. Let’s publish the manga for its own sake, not to overdo it for anything. Let’s post it because we love Spanish, not because we think we should settle a national debt. And when we’re done, let’s give this syndio some hats to those who are trying to function beyond the trends, to forge new avenues filled with dizzying giants. The real emotion that drives the publishing world is the love of money… and the ego. I love seeing my name on all the credits, those little ones.
†Comics should be sold cheaper, much cheaper, practically paying readers to consume our comics. Whenever I read the “manga is expensive” comment, I snap a photo and bottles of Jägger pile up in my trash, making the office look more like a warehouse than a publishing house. Look, it’s dramatically impossible for me to make something out of toilet paper, paste it in any way, Google it, and tag it with Comic Sans. Doing a good job takes time and money. Specifically, by Rei ayanami, when I think of authors I would not like to recommend less than 20% of PVP for a professional ethical issue beyond what best suits my personal wallet and my desire to collect numbers. But since I still have a high blood fan factor, I keep the prices on the cover low so they’re accessible, even at the expense of me and everyone on my team, including the ex, always skipping the minimum wage. Like I said on the internet, every comment leaves a cut on my face. One out of every thirty, forty, sixty dollars that other publishers issue sometimes, one way or another, leaves a mark on me. Finally, I’ll hang a poster on the web that reads: “You don’t trust today. Nor will there be tomorrow” and I will download the entire manga to twelve lerus, contributing to the otako drama and the collapse of dozens of suicide clubs due to the inability to buy everything published. First world problems.
†Unless the signatories of the manifesto can’t make it to Comic Barcelona for fear of excommunication. Look. TO LOOK. You’re worse than elementary school, really, informants for no reason, some Suneo of life. I publicly withdrew (quoting myself, “I was a hypocrite”) to sign the document and attend the event, motivated by nothing more and nothing less than the economic survival and visibility of my writers and their work, but simply to read that my performance has damaged that of my other colleagues. it really pisses me off. GRANDMOTHER? I’m down fictional I have said the fattest one openly and through multiple channels, and also ventured to meet those in charge, to tell him to do everything like the top of a pine tree, and yet my plan is always constructive, because someone who believes that he will do everything a thousand times better will be crowned king. I’d rather use the basics of what’s going on than wait for it to wear off. Who do you think you are? What are you playing with anyone’s bread? However, as sickening as it is, it strikes me as mocking those who defend their unaided stance. Respect your decision! Search for life! What are you parasites who need the attention of others to see if you’re selling something? As we are, we only need one Gernika to have the whole picture.
You make me happy. I prefer this one from Jordi Bayarri, now and always a sun and inspiration:The world of Spanish comics. Come for the drawings. Stay for the good vibes†
And next week… WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE EVENT.
