It's shocking. Previously, most of the really creative, talented people I knew tended to be out of work or sans a fulltime gig intentionally - or for only brief periods of time when it wasn't intentional. (Heck, I'm a case in point for that one.) People like Bob Greenberger over at ComicMix shouldn't have to look hard for work, given their talent - but they are these days. And the same goes for other writers and editors like Kiel Phegley, another phenomenal comics-scene writer (who also comments here occasionally). It's insane.

We re-posted in December and are overwhelmed with cover letters. The creative director has had to take a day or two to wade through the options. It's really bad out there.
