Reason<\/em>‘s Brian Doherty<\/a> reports on a fascinating<\/em> Kickstarter campaign by comic artist John Campbell:<\/p>\n

For those who think Ayn Rand was just crazily overwrought in the “unrealistic” characters she created to dramatize the anti-capitalist mentality, you might want to see this addendum to the Kickstarter page<\/a> of comic artist John Campbell, who raised over $50,000 on Kickstarter to publish a book of his comics Sad Pictures for Children<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He got tired of having to mail the books he promised, apparently (believe me, I know that’s a drag) and so decided to burn a copy for every person who asked about where the book they’d been promised was.<\/p>\n

The page has a video of him doing the burning.<\/p>\n

He has elevated the annoyance of mailing 127 packages to an anti-market rant of marvelous proportion. Excerpts, though whole thing is worth reading, after he talks about how rich people he knew as a kid mistreated a pet rat:<\/p>\n
