I suspect you’re right, that we’ll never know what really happened… and I don’t know that we should, since it’s an internal personnel matter.

Yeah, as with Tim I appreciate this type of coverage. I think it is sort of hard to comment though, as while interesting it doesn’t leave much room for comment unless you know the people involved.

I guess I can wonder if is this a case of someone from the outside of the comic industry being unpopular/disliked because they are from outside? Which meant they don’t have the same hangups and mentality of “this is how things are done” that so many insiders do?

Or was she someone with an abrasive personality, and whose work wasn’t up to the level they were expecting?

Or even something entirely else.

We’ll likely never know…

Thank you, Tim, that’s very kind of you. The number of comments is one of the factors that feeds into the popularity ranking on the left side, but I know that some topics lend themselves more easily to response than others.

Thanks for links like this, Johanna. I always hate when no one comments, as it implies it is of no interest to folks. I am sure I am one of many folks however that first learned about the news from reading your post. So thanks for the effort and keep it up, please.
