I think one meets every week and draws in a coffee house, and then blogs the work. Things are changing for sure, and I think, for the better.<BR/><BR/>On a personal note, I favour the smaller groups and I think dealing with small groups will appeal to publishers as they have, usually, one person to deal with and too few members for major bust-ups. I'm sure that as space becomes a premium to some publications, a small 'syndicate' with a handful of members will appeal, and as a small collective with more exclusive material, one that could specialize in say, science strips, or cat strips, would appeal more to publishers of specialist magazines and websites.Rod McKiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322224888246015883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581147.post-37405977074183845642007-09-08T20:44:00.000+00:002007-09-08T20:44:00.000+00:00Thanks Rod.

After seeing a few of these other cartoonist conglomerates, we said, "hey, that looks like a good idea!"<BR/><BR/>Right now we're still in our early developmental stage... Just getting a feel for how this whole thing could work out and what kind of potential it might have.<BR/><BR/>Also, it's kind of fun. Much more satisfying and entertaining than the old "work in solitude" method.Jim Tierneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215247440186284124noreply@blogger.com
