We're all human after all

For those of you who missed it: Scott Kurtz's announcement: Scott Kurtz Offers PvP For Free.

Also interesting is the resutling discussion here. At any rate, it was interesting to gauge the reactions... some were supportive, some were disdainful... some were pouncing on every chance they could to denounce Scott as a hack who only published his stuff in the net because he couldn't sell it to the papers.

Frankly, I think when people start making jokes about my name it's the end of intelligent conversation... ;) At any rate, all the yammering in the world will make no difference. I say actions speak louder than words. To paraphrase what I was said to another cartoonist:

They said you can't do it. You say you can. I say to Scott: Go out there and show us you can! That'll speak volumes more than any words ever could.

Maybe it'll be the death of newspaper comics, but I highly doubt so. Things that drag on forever are far harder to kill than one would suppose. Besides, death is sometimes preferable to extended zombified existence.

At any rate, change is coming. Whether it's a big change, or a flash in the pan. Only time will tell.
