Haha, oh man Chris, thanks for posting this it made me tear up laughing.
"Those pesky, tiny feet"
"All grimacing all the time"
"Imagine me at 12 reading a comic about a big black naked body builder"It really seems to me that the people to blame for all his money are the crazy kids in the 90's who loved that stuff and bought it. It happened with Batman - remember he had those HUUUUGE ass ears? Something about the 70's and the 90's - comics were just angrier, I don't know.
I mean, honestly, money wise, the people who get rich off of comics are few and far between. In fact, we could probably name all of them on 2 hands.
The industry just doesn't have the income of other industries, and it really isn't all that big of a business. If you're in it long enough, make enough friends, you get to know almost everyone. I mean, it's changing now, with the popularity of comics turned into movies and the public embracing indie work - it's definitely bigger, but it still doesn't have the readership it had in say, the 1940s, and it certainly doesn't have the readership of comics in Japan.
It seems like guys who are smart businessmen, Bob Kane, Stan Lee (moneywhoooore!!), Joe Quesada, - they made tons of money off of chance opportunities that ended up scoring really big and they made the best of it. Is that Liefeld? I guess, I don't know all that much about him.
Anyway, synopsis: he sucks and the list was hilarious.
