If you’ve combed my forums over on my buddy Jamar’s site closely — in the manner of a dangerous obsessive, for instance — you may have noticed that I’ve been toying with the idea of launching a magazine, of sorts. The sorts in question aren’t important, but the magazine is, and throughout all of the blueskying and mental planning I’ve done about it, one stumbling block has become increasingly apparent: It wont work.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m no defeatist, and have every intention of going ahead with the plan once it becomes workable. That, however, requires overcoming a series of other, assorted stumbling blocks — I like to keep a variety around, so’s I don’t become jaded — and chief among those is the fact that, technically speaking, I don’t have any magazine experience, whatsoever.
Or so I told myself! Keeping up the trend of concepts emerging from the fog that permanently surrounds my brain in a manner not unlike that of the deadly mist which concealed the Crawling Eye, something pleasant occurred to me: I draw “Hsu and Chan.” I already have a magazine, and with it, magazine experience!
The problem, then, is that I don’t have any GOOD experience. “Hsu and Chan,” for all its occasional hoopla, sells just about average for an independent comic book, which is to say, ‘terribly.’ And it is THIS fact which brings us full circle, all the way back to the very title of this post — which is, in case you’re too lazy to look up, “The Ignoble Experiment.”
The experiment in question will be a series of exercises calculated to determine if it’s possible to bring a crap-selling comic book title, this being my own “Hsu and Chan,” into the realm of top-moving titles, into the sales ranks of both gangbusters and hotcakes (consistently top-performing stocks, both of ‘em), and then to parlay the methods discovered in this experiment into bringing about the mysterious and exciting magazine previously alluded to.
Stay tuned for updates from the front!
What kind of experiment would this be? :S I mean, no offense, but you’d think if it were that easy you’d have done it already.

Hsu and Chan has everything a popular comic should, and is certainly more interesting than most anything else I have seen in the comic book world. I am sure the experiment will prove a success! My friends and I are also very interested in your magazine idea, so I hope that works out as well.
