You can help keep HU’s benefactors running and get a deal on exciting comics as well by participating in Fantagraphics’ 20% off everything on the website sale.
Not to harp on this, but…I had to find out about this sale from Tom Spurgeon’s website, and there’s no mention of it on the Tcj.com page either. I understand the impulse to separate editorial and marketing, I guess, and maybe it’s just because it’s early days, but…you do realize that the way you make money from a web presence is through sales right? Not through advertising? Tell me you know that, please?
Update: With remarkable restraint, Eric Reynolds tells me he knows that in comments.
Thanks for mentioning the sale, Noah!
You might want to ask TCJ Executive Editor and Boss of Us All Gary Groth about the TCJ policy regarding separation of editorial and marketing.
Well, I mentioned it already on this blog — that’s about the best I can do, I think. I don’t actually even have Gary’s email, honestly.
The sale is prominently listed on the FBI homepage, and was promoted on Flog, to others in the blogosphere and elsewhere. We could have run a banner ad on tcj.com but didn’t get to creating one in the holiday crunch. But maybe it all worked out, since by not doing so, Noah played right into our hands by giving us editorial coverage, instead. Everybody wins!
Ah, well, I’m comforted to hear it was just time constraints rather than some sort of policy. And happy to provide editorial coverage as well, of course. May you sell many books!
