Thoughts? Educated guesses?
Also T Campbell is selling the webcomics.com domain… not cheap! but maybe something someone can do something interesting with?

Happy Happy July July!
Just checking in to say hi if anyone’s out there…. Hope you had a great 4th of July weekend in the United States and elsewhere. We should have some new stuff up here at ComixTalk tonight or tomorrow so check back.
For now I just want to flag this interesting article on a new flexible screen e-doohickey — the Readius — from a company called Polymer Vision.

And if it does — this would be an amazing way to read comics.
