Spidey Daily Strips Could be coming to an end

[BD]

So I just got a call from King's Features and they are wanting $120 a month to run the Spider-Man daily strip on the front page. That will be $1440 a year which is a ton of money. Do you think folks would be willing to pay for it? There's no way I can afford that on my own.

Look at how much you get in donations... I think that answers that. I can say this because while it wasn't much, I did donate SOMETHING.

Me daddy taught me a long time ago. If you can't afford it, you can do without it. Spend that money on Ava. Plus, Stan ain't writing stories that are worth that much. Although we probably should give him something for keeping MJ and Peter married.

Thats ridiculous. As much as I love the Spidey daily I wouldn't ask someone to pay that.

Heck, it's available on various newspaper sites, save your money!

I love the strip being on here but it's not worth that much.

I agree. If it were $120 a year, sure! No problem!

...but $120 a month? That's robbery, plain and simple.

That equals to about $3 a strip. I thought about putting a poll on the front page but it sounds like you all dont' want to pay for it.

Sounds like a certain lovable sour puss cheap skate has taken over the operation.

and for some reason he's packing heat!

I guess I could post a link to the newspaper website each day with each days new strip. I just can't show the image.
They also want me to take down my archives because they only want a 30 day archive online. That will be a major pain.

Posting the links a good idea. That sucks you have to take down the archive.

Dude, if we did that, the quality would have to improve BIG TIME. You think we're critical of it now...

[AmFan15]

Could they maybe give you a discount if you only posted the Sunday strip?
After all, a lot of the time the Monday-Wednesday strips are just recapping what happened on Sunday.

Also, that really sucks about having to take the archives down...sorry, BD.

[FriendlyNeighborhood]

That''s insane. And yeah, the strip isn't worth that much. I say screw King's Features. If they can't stand the heat, they should stay out of the kitchen.

[DarkKnightJared]

Yeah, I think posting a link would be a decent compromise--we can get to the content to point and laugh at, and you don't have to be sued to debtors prison for it.

[FSUSpiderFan]

Just curious, how much have you been paying Brad?
