Brett Lamb takes issue with hog town’s current bias against comix, noting the lack of interest in comix art in design and the offensively piss poor representation of comix strips in the local weeklies…
"There's plenty of talent in the city and lots happening at the "grassroots" level, such as the Comic Jam and in Roscoe and DTM, two publications harnessing the best comics talent in the city, but not able to offer cash to help the artists make rent. There's also action in the neighbourhood newspapers, such as the Gleaner papers (Annex, Liberty, Village), where my comics and Dave Lapp's have a home (the exception is, of course, the Torstar-owned Metroland chain, which soaks up ad revenue while giving little, comics or otherwise, back to the communities they "serve").">>>
