The questions come in an email from Tim M related to building a community and contributing to the larger community as a whole.  Additionally, @Andy_Tom on the CCL Cafe Slack channel had some questions about Marvel’s damage frequency and what their free increased book shipping was about.  We spend the episode talking about our experiences, things we do not do, we try to do, and how we find our value in the community. As far as Marvel damages and shipping goes, we broaden the topic a bit by relating it to other publishers as well.
