Harry,<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll be happy as a clam to be proved wrong about all that, though.</div><div><br></div><div>Gary</div><div><br></div><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica">Sometimes we (in Europe) get a different idea from TV fragments coming</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica">from the USA.</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica">I remember a documentary about a country&western group being completely</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica">banned from USA radio because they had been "un-patriottic".
