The story about 'tough girl' I heard was incredible. Billy Arnell cut the toon with all his savings only for it to flop, although if hes still alive and kicking and had 100 copies now he would recover his losses.
Oddly enough, last year whilst walking through Times Square NY, my son bought 2 cds from rap singers(Franchise and another name I forgot) who had done the same thing and were selling them themselves at $10 a go.
Nothing changes much does it.
