Gemstone mix

[Gary Leach]

Well, folks, Gemstone is clearly in danger of losing copulating cash if 
we dare print stories that aren't by Don Rosa or Carl Barks. Now, while 
I would hate to lose a reader for any reason, I'm afraid we are going 
to be printing stories by other than Don Rosa and Carl Barks. We think 
that it is a good idea, and quite a whole lot of our readers think so, 
too, and we do quite like to please quite a lot of our readers. We're 
funny that way.

Too bad, it would've been diverting to have such virile money charging 
around the office.

(Baby disney? Wot's dat? Some kind of canasta?)

By the way, it's been asked what I mean by a comic "shipping" on 
such-and-such a date. What I mean is the date the comic leaves the 
shipping dock of the printer and heads out to the various regional 
distribution points that serve the retailers. This is important to me 
and those who work with me, as it is the date on which the comic 
officially leaves the production workflow and becomes actual product.
