Globality

[Gary Leach]

Harry,

There's a strong likelihood that we in America get an even more  
fragmented view of the rest of the world from newspapers, TV and our  
so-called "talk radio." One listen to Rush Limbaugh should tell you  
plenty about the way too many Americans think, and want to think.

But anyway, I fear that American Disney comics, at least as  
periodicals, are soon going to go the way of the dodo. Then again, I  
have this fear for periodical comics in general. And I don't see  
digital distribution as any sort of solution, just considering the  
contractural issues that would be involved and the lack of a clear  
avenue to generating adequate revenues.

I'll be happy as a clam to be proved wrong about all that, though.
