It would be a shame if the Raw Materials comic went poof. I have one of the comics in full color in my cubicle. One that I knew was humorous, but then became even more humorous when I read a thread on nulls and finally clicked on the SQL humor behind the comic strip (Arthur and his null personality).

I would be willing to subscribe, but I have to admit, $1 a comic strip seems a bit steep to me, even through it would only be 4 bucks a month. Doesn't seem so bad that way. So, I guess the price would be a matter of perspective and perhaps the subject of a poll if that was the way to save Raw Materials.
