What he said.
Yes!
Where’s Tucker Stone, dammit? I’m sure he has something to say about this.
Ha, I thought of Tucker right away–him and Tim O’Neil’s “proudly pissing in your Wheaties” post from the other day. A few days ago Dan Coyle had a comment where he asked which creator would first take a run at Tucker on Savage Critics. I think we have our answer already.

I haven’t read any interviews with him or anything lately, so one can only hope he’s turning over a new leaf. I do wish he were editing for a slightly more ambitious publisher with a slightly better chance of producing work of some value.
