I was thinking how to start this letter of farewell. I know it I have to write some of the reasons I left the project because personally I owe the people we've been following (many or few, it does not matter) and I know that there are two ways to do it. One is to make a proper farewell and quietly, which means that all these things that have been eroding patience in these two years, falling into oblivion and become mere personal anecdotes, and I imagine that is what normally happens the world of comics in Spain. The errors fall into oblivion and no progress. We have years without progress. And
advance to avoid absurd accusations that the main reason why is let us lack of resources and mismanagement probably the same for us. Sales that have left us off in conditions and an initial draft may be too risky for the public which requires regular comic. Yes, we're going with the goals accomplished. We support novice designers, and, as far as possible, help to take off to some authors, to give resume and experience, and boost national comic.
What really surprises is to see how businesses or events with many years standing, keep doing things so badly wrong. It is hard to realize how many people irresponsible and unprofessional flooding the scene. Best of all, it seems to be a secret, but nobody does anything about it. We all assume, with an ironic "is that things here are well" and are so wide. It is outrageous that there is more concern on whether to call "comic " the comic and not on improving the industry moves to the name. SD
angry that distributions have a monopoly brutal and ill-treat us as customers (I assume it must be to us only because I have not seen anyone else complain about), it is so difficult to telephone the person responsible, you den read receipts to your emails but are not able to answer you if you do not care what you say. Imagine that you go to English Court to return the unit a clock and dependent on the typical suit, when you ask why not work begins to walk backwards but still lose the smile, until you lose track of. You have not stopped looking at him and you're left to face "what the hell is going on here?" with your watch and your questions. And it is virtually the only option to distribute all over Spain ... as if its provisions were all advantages.
indignantly organizations classrooms full of non-professional comic book fans, who can not handle an event. have to wait an hour to Rafa Marín finished his talk to begin mine, because no organizer has said that his shift is over ... In two different events! I understand that Rafa is well liked and has many things to tell, but it is the responsibility of the organization to respect timetables if there are people waiting and more if any of the components depends on public transport ... And then they put us rush to the artists and me because they have to close the bar.
That a man of 50 years or more, we steal a copy credited with a fake press pass FICOMIC, for € 3.95 please ... We have been granted an award with a plaque misspelled and that nobody in the organization has said anything about it or been able to attempt solve the problem. We take a joke, because there is no way to take this kind of thing, but I can not imagine any other awards ceremony cultural activity where this happens. Or email my signature appears on all signs of an event my phone number and my email, distributed throughout the province to plan "sponsor." And in the same say that our editorial is called Creative Commons (is as ridiculous as if my publisher called Copyright), and anybody to do anything about it.
continue No, leave me a lot in the pipeline and could take pages and pages written full of absurdities and bad karma, and unlike heart of the world (real engine of culture in Spain), this does not sell. Only sincerely hope that this helps to reflect on all parties involved in the development of this "industry" to correct problems and progress, but you go forward everyone, not just the usual four cats.
We're with the bittersweet taste of knowing he has done everything possible for their ideas and projects, but that's probably not the best time or the place. We met great people and lived with them good times, we get that and all the experience we have now, which will surely serve us in the future.
Many thanks to all who have sent us these days your support.
