Quoted for truth. This is very important to remember. It's been mentioned here countless times over the past few years but we still get the same blame game attributed to revamps, bagging, etc.starscape wrote:Do you really think they would have tried Xtreme if the Dandy wasn't in trouble? Everything DCT have done, from Jak, to Xtreme, to Harry Hill have all been to try to bring up circulation figures to a level that would allow it to survive. DCT didn't want it to die in a plastic bag, they wanted it to thrive and grow.
Bagging comics costs publishers money. They do it out of necessity to compete with other titles. That said, when was the last time Dandy was bagged? Christmas if I recall correctly. Eight months ago. Yet some people online (and I'm not talking about anyone here) are still saying "if they dropped the plastic tat and bags it'd sell better". Well, maybe if those people actually bought it every week, because obviously they don't, this news item wouldn't exist.
Anyway, back to the drawing board to work on a Dandy strip...
