#alt comix

I kinda hate Silver Sprocket Comics as a company. We know who’s in charge but we don’t know who actually prints and binds the books, or even what country they’re in (website just says the comics are printed “overseas.” No one thinks that’s shady?!) I know it’s bad for my career as a comic artist to shit talk a publisher but I don’t want to be associated with them, especially when they perform this weird infantile progressivism (always felt weird about the ACAB ass tattoo on their logo, none of their comics are particularly anti-establishment and the abolitionist movement is not theirs to claim). I suspect we’ll hear about unfair labor practices in the future, and they’ll give a lukewarm apology, deny they knew anything about it (they probably don’t!), people will forget the whole thing, they’ll run out of money, get bought out by a bigger company without anyone noticing and still maintain their alternative/indie reputation. Tale as old as independent businesses themselves. No hate to the cartoonists they publish, get that money queens!👑
