Funniest People: Curmudgeons who have slammed me several times for supporting the work of my own friends on my own damn blog. Honestly, I've promoted my own comic and the comics of those closest to me a *fraction* of the amount another person would have. I've actually held back. Well, my new motto for 2009 is "fuck that modesty shit, I'm doing what I want."
On the list:
* Well, I WAS going to put that Zuda box on my sidebar, but somebody's gotta give me code, because I'm not creating some cheap-ass one myself.
* Wrapping my blog in like a Cloak and Dagger wallpaper. Yeah, that won't be obnoxious.
* Changing my name to "Tandy Bowen."
* Having baby and giving it "Marvel" as his or her middle name. Might run into possible copyright issues and will have to rename it "Shazam!"
Hey... just give full disclosure when you post something you're connected with. One, it maintains journalistic integrity (yeah, I know, it's a blog), and Two, it helps us filter stuff, giving us one more reason to buy something. ("Cloak & Dagger, manga influence, AND I know the writer? Cool.")
ReplyDeleteAnd before I get sucked into airplane reservations, helping Mom clean out the freezer (*burp*), and Nebraska football, I just want to thank you for making 2008 more interesting than it should have been.
You know (and I know you know), there is more than one other comic book company without Didio. I assume you are referring to the one currently paying you for work, but there are a lot of companies out there and I would be interested in which you thought was best.
ReplyDeleteReally Pieces?
ReplyDeleteWhat day? (Assuming you are one)
Sorry...nosy I be.
What if it's a boy? Icon...or MAX? Heh! ;)
ReplyDeleteHigh-five on Zuda! It seems more and more are getting into that site. Took me 4 or 5 months of ads to finally look at one of my open comics and go, "Fine...after I finish reading you." High Moon rocks! I'm gonna have to go with Night Owls as my numero uno! Then Bayou, then High Moon, which has gotten somehow much better than it was. Bravo to them for pulling of making something awesomer than 'great.'
Thanks Valerie! >blush<
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a pisces too....damn inconsistency!
Oh, and YES! Forget about modesty. it seems not to get you anywhere in this modern age.
