Bring inking back - Make the corporations take notice Options

[Anthony Hochrein]

The question remains, although traditional inking seems to be a "dying art", I'd like to hear opinions on what will make the corporations take notice of traditional inking as something of value? It's not like rubberband and tape special effects, you know.

Well, after a long silence,that all remains to be seen. It's like the writing software that's available which is there for writers to crank stuff out. It ain't over til it's over. I really took one look at the Comic Book creator software and said to myself (whilst rolling my eyes), "Here we go again!" There was a guy at the New York Comic Con last year trying to sell it to me. Being who I am, I resigned myself to studying page layout by people who put some effort into it. And by the way, computer lettering isn't a touch of a button thing, either. You DO have to put a lot of thought and effort into it. What will stop that is the corporate mindset of wanting to have pushbutton product. Are you familiar with the saying,"if they used their brains, they'd be dangerous"? Well, we need to be dangerous!
