You're probably too young to remember this, but many years ago when there was a newspaper strike, the comics were read aloud on the radio. Remember, George? Was it in the forties? Or was it only on the East Coast, where I lived at the time. It would be nice if there were a web site where newspaper comics and comic books and graphic novels could be read. I'll bet lots of people would tune in. Does anyone have money to invest? smile I wonder if this is something bookshare could expand into. Jim F--do you know anybody like Bill Gates or google people and s this some way benetech could expand bookshare's reach?
