Wait, what? That sounds backwards to me. If your favorite drinking hole has to let one of their folks go, it is because money is tight. I'd imagine this applies to business on a larger scale, only more cutthroat. I'd say if you want your favorite designers to have jobs, buy stuff with their names on the cover, not stuff from their competition. Am I crazy?

Actually this is axactly what not to do. I mean if you have been supporting them because you like the writers, then you just got a kick in the face too. If you weren't supporting them before, then they should have been making a better a product to get thoes dollars from you and keep the work steady. Jumping in and buying now just rewards the company for getting rid of good people. As for the timing, Most places do this to avoid bonuses. I have had it happen to me several times. There is NOTHING good about losing your job right before christmas.
Keep an eye out for these writers from here, if you like them and make any of thier new projects successful. That is how you can support them.
