Hi, Everybody!

My friend Kevin, remember Kevin, here's some columns by Kevin, works comics retail, and he laughed himself silly when I told him what Dave said.

Okay, Dave sent me part five of Why an Aardvark, but I don't think parts one through four have ever been posted here, so I'm gonna post them, and THEN I'll post part five.
I know some of you are getting the shakes from "Dave Fax" withdrawal, so here's a little exchange between Dave and I:
I faxed up
I was gonna ask this for the last Please Hold, but I had a number of other questions to send, and I was waiting for Brian Hibbs’ take on it. So, what is A/V’s stance on the Marvel Penguin House distribution deal? Here’s Mr. Hibbs’ take on it.
My question is: Are you/A-V, planning on trying to expand beyond Diamond (I know Diamond has been very-very good to you and A-V over the years,), or have you not thought about it at all?
(Insert “Mr. President, why not do nothing?” here.)
I mean, as Mr. Hibbs stated, most shops don’t order trades from Diamond if they can help it. Would it behoove A-V to investigate in trying to distribute through PRH, or some other book distributor? (Especially in light of how Diamond may be in the same position that Capital City was 25 years ago?)
MattAnd here was Dave's response:

The contest is something everybody forgot about, so we're working on figuring out who won.
And also while cleaning out the Ol' AMOC mailbag, I found a bunch of stuff I had to send Dave, and he responded to that:
