However, selling your company to a larger entity has a lot of benefits, not the least of which is getting "FU" money -- where you can say "FU" to anyone for the rest of your life and not have to worry about getting fired, sued, etc. Anyway the history of capitalism shows many entities like Marvel -- sclerotic, short-sighted, out of touch with their customers... and they all end up the same way. In the hoop skirt factory (if you ever even thought about going to business school you'll know what I mean -- DOA) Yeah, Mattwolf, that is true — take it from the voice of experience.

Common sense simply doesn't apply anymore, not when your idea has to go through a dozen marketing focus groups, executive meetings, etc. Everyone chimes in with their two cents and WHAMMO! Your idea, which you could have put out yourself, mutates into a monstrosity that can't possibly work well. This is why small companies can still function in corporate America: Less corporate hoo-ha. Ironically, larger companies then buy the smaller ones because they WERE WORKING, and the whole process takes a sad turn.

Also, you're post of the Digital Webbing forum was really informative, I found that I'm aspiring to a lot of the same goals with my first webcomics project you posted on the article. I must be on the right track. Take care Man. Just wanted to say Great Blog today DJ.

One of the extra benefits is that you get a free stack of comics every week called "comps". The only downside is the whole "signing your soul away to AOL/Time-Warner" thing.
