It is NOT churlish. I too think the way Amazon took Comixology behind the woodshed and shot it was abominable – I had a budding library there I can hardly stand to read anymore, Amazon’s own interface is so bad. Bezos clearly doesn’t much care.
I am not a rich man, but I feel bad that my own efforts to support you financially over the years have been so paltry nonetheless. Again, monthly charges can be hard for me due to the nature of my contract work, but I would be thrilled to support you in a Kickstarter or any other similar method to make sure you are safe, secure, healthy, and can keep making the cartoons we all love, which have kept me from depression’s ragged door so many times.
