The Short List


Rather than write an entire blog entry about this debacle, I will defer to a well-written blog here.

I'm involved in this marginally, because I was once contacted by Rick Olney to "appear" at his MightyMiniCon comic convention back in 2004. That con never happened, and neither did the one he tried to perpetrate on me by asking me to make him a custom embroidered Spider-Man quilt. I kept telling him I needed a 50% deposit up front for the materials, and to this day, have not seen one thin dime. I never got past a preliminary design phase, because I don't buy the materials for a custom until I get that deposit.

I've designed a little logo for the cause, which you see above, that links to the site that was created to help those who did get the shaft from Mr. Olney.

I also have an item up for auction for the benefit of these folks on ebay here. Take a look at the other items, and something might grab your interest. Please bid, as all the proceeds, every dime, will go to help out those creators and artists stiffed by a bad apple in the publishing industry, TightLip Entertainment.
