When we chose to move forward with Comico our biggest incentive as proposed by our old partner, Phil LaSorda, was that we didn't want to look back when we were older and be sorry that we had not taken the chance when we had the opportunity.

Phil died at a very young age two years ago and I’m sure he left this world happy about his accomplishments in comics.

Bill and I still have more to do. CO2 Comics is our new opportunity.

Lotta good it did me. ;) Actually, a lot of this post reminds me of a conversation I'd had with a friend a few years ago. She had a story but couldn't figure out how to get it "out there" but didn't have a business model I'd casually mentioned I had an idea (The one based on the old Comico Primer) for publishing, but published in a way that would make the book either pay for itself right away, or fold gently (and without hurting ourselves in the process) if it failed. It'd been something I'd wanted to put together, but simply haven't had the time to do. She just looked at me and said "you have a business model!" Dunno if that book will ever get done, but it's not dead. Not at all. :) I had that book. Lotta good it did me. ;)

Of the hours of chitchat going back and forth in the office of DUCKWORK and other places, I don't think I ever got the complete story of the genesis of Comico. It nicely dovetails (or is that ducktails?) with my series of posts on my entree into DUCKWORK. http://willceau.com/news/?p=1224 I love these articles, Gerry.
