My biggest regret is that I don't have a collection of ICK-Whine or Red
Shitland to unload on Furbid for some phat cash now that Jimmy forgot to
give SOMEone a forwarded mailing address. ;)

Worse. Jim lost all of the PRINTING PLATES AND NEGATIVES to all exept
his most recent back issues. Now he can't print any more of them because
they're now buried under several tons of used diapers, banana peels, and
the occasional mob hit.

Get'cher copies ready to go up on Furbid, kids!

No, but it WILL effect Jimbo's chances of buying that new shotgun he's

Just keep in mind that this is not an official -- or even trustworthy --
source, folks. Until you hear it from the horse's mouth, it's just a rumor
from someone with an axe to grind. Take anything that's said here with a very
large grain of salt.

Yes, I know what happened, but I won't tell the story without Jim Groat's
consent, nor will I humor Mike Hirtes.

A-HA! So I *AM* right. Now watch Jimbo sputter and bitch as he tries to
cook up another classic Jim Groat LIE to cover up yet another act of
horrific stupidity that has wrought upon himself.

In a related story, "Chucko the Clown" Melville is forced to swallow a
huge saltlick block and DIES. Hirtes is seen reacting to the news by

Whether I know what happened or not, I'm not going to tell stories and certainly

Well actually losing the plates is a very minor hang-up to doing any reprint
book. AP didn't have most of the negatives to the earliest issues of Ninja
High School and Gold Digger when they were putting together those mammoth
reprint books. I, myself, am having to contend with lost and damaged art as
I'm putting together the Amy's Adventures reprint book for Radio Comix.

It may be an added expense but the only things needed are a copy of the funny
book, scanner and software plus a lot of free time.

Amy's Adventures? That cute slave-girl, right? Cool! How long do you

But right about what? You're laughing that Jim Groat doesn't have
plates to do comics because he didn't leave a forwarding address?

So what? They're easy enough to replicate should he need to. Perhaps
he didn't need them? Who knows?

So again, right about what? Who gives a crud, really?

I still say we give Michael a true term here, since he doesn't want to be
called a furry, but yet his life seems to revolve around the fandom, we
should consider him a wannafur.

He's not, but he surely wants to be.

No, I'm laughing because Groat was so STUPID as to not leave a
forwarding address with the printing company that is holding his
negatives and plates. Now he's being punished for his stupidity. Even
George would say "What a MORON!" if he heard about it.

Ever see how good a reprint looks like when lifted off of a printed
comic? The Continuity reprints of BUCK O'HARE are evidence of how well
that works (not).

And your refusal to grasp reality pleases no one but yourself,

You're right about what that you want people to admit? That
no one cares? Jim sure doesn't, others don't, yet you want
people to admit you're right.

Wannafur is a perfect name for you, I think I'll stick to calling

Oh, Jim will care sooner or later, as his stock dwindles down to nearly
nothing. In the end, all he'll have left is his winning personality
*snicker*.

One does have to wonder how likely it is that a black and white, small
circulation independent comic in a little niche market, published years
and years ago, might be to ever have any need for another print run.

No, actually one doesn't have to wonder. For one thing, it's obviously
very unlikley. And for another thing, if one doesn't know, there's still
no need to really wonder unless one is Groat-obsessed (like Mr. Hurt-please).

And yes, if by some miracle there were demand for another 1000 copies
of each early issue of Ret Shetland in the future, he could always do his
best job of reconstructing them from the production copies - just like the
Little Nemo in Slumberland reprint books, the Krazy Kat reprint books, the
Complete Crumb, and many reprints of individual comic books have had to do.
The quality might be lower, and the labor involved higher - but again it's
a rather moot point, as I doubt he'll ever reprint those issues anyway.

The magnitude of this bad news is small, and yet it brings joy to one
so-called "person" out there, Mr. Herpes. I can only speculate what this
obvious trend will lead to next.

"Groat and his wife bought a dozen eggs, but they only used ten of them
before the expiration date! They had to throw out two whole eggs they
paid for and didn't get to eat them! HA HA HA!"

I'll be expecting news updates and cackles of glee the next time Groat
can't find a matching pair of socks in the morning, or loses a nickel
down a storm drain. I eagerly await this and other major fandom news. :X)

: So again, right about what? Who gives a crud, really?

Um, nobody but Mr. Hairpiece, apparently. But hey, freedom of speech
means he gets to show us repeatedly how petty he is. And freedom of
listenage means we get to wander off while he's in the middle of talking
and go listen to Prairie Home Companion instead of hearing the rest of
his rant-in-progress, if we want. Woohoo. :X)

Not Groat-obsessed. Just Groat-entertained.

That would involve Jimbo actually lifting a finger.

That's TWO cheap-ass plays on my last name. Wonder what new one Dr. Crap
will pull out of his ass next?

Better still, "Groat bought a dozen eggs and used only ten before the
expiration date. Jimbo said "Who cares?" and ate the other two that were
spoiled and DIED! HA HA HA!"

Well, if watching an oaf fuckhimself up the ass and lose 99.9% of his
ability to print back issues isn't news? What is?

That was quite a retarded play on my name, so I can only grant you one
quarter of a point with that one.
