This book is a comics memoir looking back on the time Delisle's worked in a paper mill factory during summers when he was in school, the place where his Dad worked as an engineer (and did some oof his own drawing). But I began to warm up to him as he became a parent and made his Bad Parenting cartoon books. And something about his grumpy/cheeky tone bugged me. He wrote sort of travel memoirs early on while traveling with his wife who went to Korea and China for her work, and I didn't think the stories he wrote of those trips were all that compelling to accompany the great art he did on those occasions. He's really by now honed his skills so we can be sure we are in more than capable hands. ![]() Guy Delisle is just flat out a great cartoonist. ![]() ![]() ![]() The long tail theory predicates that the Internet has spawned an unlimited number of retail sites that are quickly, easily and cheaply accessible to consumers. And this evolution predated the scale provided by the Internet.

At the same time, many of the 20th century megabrands, such as Levi, Gap, Lee Jeans, and others, have slowed - and in many cases declined. In fact, some current megabrands already have, without consciously calling it their “long tail” strategy.Īnderson’s long tail is a theoretical rationale for the explosive growth in numbers of niche apparel brands across all retail sectors. So it’s timely to revisit the theory and suggest how current struggling brands such as Gap, Levi, and other megabrands might stimulate some new growth by incorporating Anderson’s theory into their brand strategies. However, he didn’t give the heads-up to most of last century’s traditional megabrands and retailers that they might also participate and accelerate their growth by implementing the theory. ![]() ![]() Can Be Reality for Traditional MegabrandsĪ decade has passed since Chris Anderson wrote The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling More for Less, and his theory is being proven as reality. ![]() |
