I thought this was a great comic I used to read back in the UK called VIZ. it is really funny in parts I would recomend it to anyone with an adult and childish sense of humor. :)

A few of the characters are
Johnny Fartparts
Roger Melly the man on the telly
The Fat Slags
Sid the Sexist
The Real Ale Tw*ts
Spoilt B*st*rd

LOL just typing some of the names brings back memories and makes me laugh


It is not for kids though, keep it away form your kids.

Ugh.. it is an emerchandise.com site...

Between dropping comissions on split shipping (you still do this?), and here we have a subdomain to leak to the main site and then there are your employees, or hired help or whatever you tried to claim noah was as he tried to damage my business... ugh again.

Emerchandise - one of the few merchants I told them to stick what they owed me rather than have to ever talk to them again.

One of the groupings for search is "Family" all of these are "All Ages" series at the end of every description is suggested age group. Most of the sports titles are also "All Ages".
For a large part Japanese artist see themselves as writing for teens and adults, but there are definitely family fare titles, like Hamtaro. http://store.viz.com/product/MSVLY0001

This is not the comic VIZ from the UK it is VIZ LLC, a company that produces English versions of popular titles from Japan. VIZ offers some titles for kids, many for teens, and some that cater to people that are looking for graphic novels that address more adult tastes. ("Battle Royale" tells a story similar to "Lord of the Flies" and "Vagabond" tells the epic story of Miyamoto Musashi, a real man who lived after the Warring States Period in Japan.)

Hey Chet, my name is Christopher Darrell, I'm the Associates Program Manager for eMarket Group. I work with Carlos (inflatemouse) who has also been posting here recently.

eMerchandise.com is one of the Associates Programs we do run here at eMarket Group, but the person you mentioned hasn't been a part of any Associates Program here for years, and I've been in charge for well over a year now. I can assure you when a shipment is split commissions are paid on every portion of that sale, and were that way when I took over last year.

The VIZ Associates Program contains a lot of really neat new stuff (like Smartlinks) that we've built for associates at their request, and we're always looking to deliver to our associates whatever tools they need.

As for eMerchandise showing up in the url, unfortunately our client VIZ has recently been a part of a merger and is undergoing a name change and most likely a change in the domain name of their store. Until the dust has settled on that the secure cert for their store is being held off on. We're hosting them on our eMerchandise secure cert until that's all finished.

If you guys have any other questions or feedback please don't hesitate to let us know, our job is to make sure our Associates are pleased and getting the support they need, so we really do want to hear from you.

The anti-parasite stance of eMerchandise, which I've known about for a few years, was enough recommendation for me to sign up.

By the way, please let us know when and if there are going to be url changes at VIZ LLC we have to deal with in the future.

[Christopher]

Herb,

We'll definitely be letting you guys know in advance when there are any changes. We also plan to continue supporting all the existing URL's for as long as associates continue to use them. We know what a hassle it is to merchandise your site up and then have stuff change beneath you.

-Christopher

[Herb ԿԬ]

I'm just lazy . . . and waiting for similar changes at eMerch

[inflatemouse]

We have recently added many new graphic banners and a second type of dynamic graphic link that allows multi-level fixed dimension ads to be displayed.

Come see the changes https://secure.viz.com/assoc_main/
