HEY, WE’RE DC COMICS!
NOW THAT ALL OUR ARTISTS HAVE ABANDONED US, YOU TOO CAN BE A COMIC CREATOR!
SUBMIT FOUR PANELS OF BATMAN JERKING OFF ON A DISMEMBERED CORPSE AND WE’LL GIVE YOU THIS HANDFUL OF BEADS!
To be fair they do say they will pay ‘industry standard rate’ for the page if you win, it’s not like you would be getting nothing but being published. I personally don’t find the page distasteful, because of the context. It’s 4th wall breaking, she realizes she is nothing but a drawing on a page in the scene in question, and she’s trying to screw over the creative team. It’s a bit like that Daffy Duck cartoon, Duck Amuck, (one of my personal all time favorites) where Daffy yells at and tries to get back at the cartoonist (Bugs).
But yeah. They are clearly driving away talent at such an alarming rate that they are getting desperate. First it was hiring person after person from Scott Snyder’s writing class, and now talent searches. But I can not deny that I am drawing Harley right this second >.> Hey, it’s ONE page, not like I will have to deal with the incessant meddling, assuming I win.
