And I admire him for his principles during that time. That said, regarding “The Mysteries”, I just feel that others wax poetic about it because of Bill. If anyone else was attached to this book, nobody would give a damn. I’m sorry I expected more and am hype resistant. And I say this as someone that loved Calvin and Hobbes.
To be fair to Bill… he didn’t hype up anything about it. The media did. It was heralded as the second coming and, much like Duke Nukem Forever, some things are best left in the past. It’s ok.
I think what the person who replied to you is primarily reacting to is the term “cash grab”. And that is what I will focus on.
You yourself mentioned that Bill did not hype up anything about it, nor did you really counter with any arguments to prove that it was financially motivated.
I myself have not read it, but just because it was not what you expected or what the media portrayed it to be does not make it a “cash grab”.
