Vendors
License:
We are recommending that anybody selling at SPACE get a vendors license.
If you do not have a regular vendors license than you should get a Transient
Vendor’s license by filling out form ST-1T from the
Ohio Department of Taxation website. There is a one-time application
fee of $25.00. There is no further fee except for the sales tax you
collect as long as you file every six months even if you have made no
sales in Ohio.
The form can be obtained though the mail by writing to the Ohio Department
of Taxation P.O.Box 182215 Columbus OH 43218-2215
Obscenity:
Although my comics are pretty mild I’m very anti-censorship. Columbus
like every other city has obscenity laws, which basically state what
you can get away with, is based on this undefined thing called the “community
standard”. Since I can walk into the local mall and pick a Playboy
(or Playgirl for that matter) I don’t know where that leaves the
line. One thing I can say for sure is nothing considered “objectionable”
can be openly displayed. Also nothing that is “objectionable”
can be viewed by children. Example: A comic with “Mature”
material inside can sit on the table if there is nothing “objectionable”
on the cover (which is usually the case if you want to sell stuff at
comic shops). If a kid picks it up it’s up to you to stop them.
I’m anti-censorship but pro-responsibility. I believe the responsibility
of what children view is the responsibility of the parents but in this
environment you the comic producer know best what is in your publications
and can make that judgment. I think the fact that we are sitting right
there monitoring who has access to our material should be enough to
keep us all out of trouble.
Cancellations:
If anybody has to cancel I’d appreciate it if you could let me
know as soon as possible.
