    Being part of the racket has nothing to do with it. It could be an advert for anarcho-communists and it would still be an advert.

    I specifically said I have no problem with it. But a signature is still a form of advertising and there was a complaint that it wasn’t shown, which I just thought was funny considering the premise.

    I think it should be the norm to display a discrete signature on comics. I just thought it was a funny comment in this specific scenario.

    What a way to kill the fun.

      “Advertisement: a public notice
      especially : a paid notice that is published or broadcast (as to attract customers or to provide information of public interest)” ―https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/advertisement

      Do you think Clay Butler pays to have his cartoons published?

      “What a way to kill the fun.”

      But, where does killing the fun start exactly? Isn’t it you who first expressed the contrarian opinion? Surely you must expect people to refute your claims, or at the very least some pushback.
