It's kind of one of the sacrifices you make when you shift into a more administrative role, and I'm totally comfortable with that. Weaver, I'm going to be publishing a book by Mel Gilman in a few months these are people who signed on with me because they believed in my ability to represent them fairly and with a certain amount of enthusiasm. Spike: Books that contain work by other people I prioritize over books that I make myself, because I am beholden to other people who are relying on me to represent them and sell their work. How has your perspective on your own work changed? How do you view an anthology you curated in relation to a book that's entirely your own work? Now, the bulk of what you're putting out is either anthologies, collaborations with other artists, or work by other creators entirely. Greg: You started out as a web cartoonist doing all your own stuff. At best they've got 5-10 years, and he doesn't want to leave him in that kind of pain. The vampire loves him and he loves the vampire, but there's a lot of angst in this relationship because the vampire will definitely outlive his boyfriend. The setting for the story is nebulous historical European setting where 60 years is pushing it. It is a four-book series, the first book just came out, about a vampire–eternally young, eternally beautiful, blood drinking–who falls in love with a 60-year old man. She's a dream to work with and her art is amazing.
It is by a Finnish cartoonist named Nora Heikkila. Spike: My most recent book is Letters for Lucardo. However, there are no plans to bring back the metal Old Bay tin.Greg: You have a bunch of books out (gestures to the sweeping array of Iron Circus books surrounding Spike like a panopticon,) what's your most recent release? A recent reply to one such comment on the McCormick site said they are in the process of tweaking the package design, in part to ensure the lid stays firmly attached. Over four years later, you might think the furor would have died down, but there are still commenters bashing the plastic package, with some saying the lid has fallen off while they were shaking out seasoning. Naturally, there was an entire Reddit thread about it. Some simply lamented the loss of the metal tin's old-fashioned charm. Others thought the plastic packaging would actually be worse for the environment, and speculated that the move had more to do with cutting manufacturing costs. McCormick made the change to Old Bay packaging back in 2017, when they noted that the new plastic container was BPA free, fully recyclable, and would reduce carbon emissions (via Facebook).ĭetractors worried that it would make the seasoning inside taste different, though people who already regularly used Old Bay in plastic food service containers assured them it wouldn't. The undisclosed sum that McCormick paid was estimated to be many millions of dollars. According to The New York Times, they eventually sold to UK-based Hanson Industries, and in 1990, Hanson Industries sold Old Bay to McCormick (via The Baltimore Sun). Better known for manufacturing typewriters, Smith Corona also owned various other brands, including Durkee Foods, at the time. In 1980, when the Brunn family gave an interview to the Jewish Museum of Maryland, the Baltimore Spice Company was manufacturing more than 16,000 products and operating seven factories: four in the United States, one in the Dominican Republic, one in Costa Rica, and one in Israel.īut Gustav Brunn was getting older, and in 1985, at the age of 92, not long before he died, he finally sold his company - to Smith Corona Machines (via the Washington Post). Whatever the case, it's clear that Brunn did well for himself after establishing his own business. In an oral history for the Jewish Museum of Maryland, his son Ralph claimed it was due to antisemitism. He was fired, according to Saveur, for not speaking English well enough. Before founding his own Baltimore Spice Company, Gustav Brunn was employed by McCormick & Company - for three days.
