I mean, lack of female characters and they wanted to give him a girlfriend, and Roll was/is more popular than Kalinka

Honestly? First option is most likely the lack of important female characters in the classic besides Roll and Kalinka

The second option is, well

An illustration I did in 2023; a small fairy traveler with a flower for a hat, standing on a top of a mushroom, looking up and ahead. There are falling leaves around her, and a single flower just by the mushroom she's standing on.

Eu costumava recomendar muito os livros da @bitmapbooks.com, livros lindos de altíssima qualidade.

Pena que o autor do novo livro deles é xenófobo (referente ao Brasil) e, mesmo sabendo disso, a editora vai continuar trabalhando com ele.

É muito importante que brasileiros boicotem a editora.

I don't care if he is "a nice guy". Sam is supporting a guy that laughs at racist remarks - and as of the moment, he is growing the same image.

I hope your income takes a nosedive after this

Taking away donation to charity as a form of punishment for being called out just means the author never cared about it in first place

He was doing it for positive views, which is not working right now because he thinks calling a whole country and its people savages is just a joke

Dear supporters of Bitmap Books,

Although I stand by the fact that Moses’ comments were ill-advised and insensitive, the whole thing blew up and was made much bigger than it needed to be. Moses has publicly apologised for any offence caused, as has the original poster of the comments who did not intend to cause this much trouble. I do not feel that this warrants an author losing his livelihood and ruining years of hard work to produce the book.

Despite multiple accusations to the contrary, Moses freely agreed to donate his royalties to charity. There was no coercion from me, however we both recognise that due to an increasingly stressful situation that decisions were rushed on both sides. I’m pleased to say that Moses and I have spoken again today, we stand together, and have agreed that he will receive 100% of his royalties.

Maybe I was hasty in my response, and I’m happy to admit to that. At the time I sincerely thought I was doing the right thing to diffuse an increasingly difficult situation. I will commit to donating all company profits from this first print run to the charity, Special Effect.

The bottom line is that is that Moses has apologised for his original comments, and will now be paid the royalties that are rightfully his.

Moses and myself have received a large amount of personal abuse and threats over the past few days. We hope that this statement will bring some closure to what has happened.

Sam Dyer, founder of Bitmap Books

I remember this episode well, I must have watched it a thousand times and, to this day, I couldn't relate more to Alan Harper.📚

#Booksky #TwoAndAHalfMen #ReadingCommunity #WritingCommunity

Episode from Two and a Half Men.

Alan and Charlie Harper are in a bookshop and Alan is having a breakdown:

Look at them all. They're mocking me.
I haven't read any of them.

There's not enough time. There's too many books and not enough time.
