And then brought the papers down behind him? Is he the villain of this piece?

]]> <![CDATA[Broke Journalists Turn To T-Shirt Sales]]> I'd buy a t-shirt to help impoverished ex-journalists buy comics, but I haven't seen a funny one yet...

Like, "no country for old hacks."

I never intended to "properly monetize" the site's content with advertising. In fact, I never intended to sell ads there at all.

The site's a hobby for me and costs little more than a hour a day of my time. Selling the T-shirts seemed like an easy way to make a few extra bucks to pay for other hobbies of mine (like comic books). It was never intended to be a full-time job that I can make a living on.

Also, there's no "founders," and nor am I a journalist. I quit that two months ago.

Finally, if you could post a photo of Nick Denton wearing a "print is dead" T-shirt, then you'd make my day.

Thanks for the plug!
