Thought Bubble is going to be insane. So many Canadians making the trip too!

Well, as much as I'd wish you had explored the fictional economic modalities of Howard the Duck's world, I'm also okay with the extent of world-building being "Howard likes to ride on roller-coasters" (did he ever ride a roller-coaster?). Thank you for sharing the charity stream and the Spidey!

Just curious: Why was The Domain released IRL this far ahead of when it will be released in-story in Public Domain? And will it be continued at some point?

I love both books,. especially PD which is simply excellent and my favourite series of yours so far. (The bar is high!)

The timing was always going to be tricky, so I wanted to make sure THE DOMAIN came out before PUBLIC DOMAIN ended (eventually)! Lining it up with issue 6 of PD felt like the best way as everything gets underway in that one

And THE DOMAIN probably won't continue as it's a costly thing to make!

Oh, sign me up for Chip-La please. I like that world and want to live there. Your infographic is perfect (Hickman should have approved it on that alone ;) but also American dollars.) Bless Jonathan Hickman & his massive world building, may he continue with that.

Will have to catch up on Time Waits & The Domain. Really enjoyed Public Domain 10 too.

May your Thought 🫧 be joyful and productive and this includes your time at the TBubble con too, Chip.

Have a great week, con and trip. Thanks for another fun ‘Stack too.

Thanks, Kim!

Chip-La sounds like a fun place to live and the 3W/3M team are cowards for not seeing the brilliance of your pitch.

AGREED

All should dread even the possibility of The World That Chip Built.

damn, cant believe you're not a Dune Dunatic, a Fremen Friend, a Spice Seeker, a Paulite, a Wormrider, or even a Harkonnen Loyalist! time for me to ask daddy substack for a refund.

(these are all Dune references btw (since you admitted to not being cultured))

Should we be expecting any announcements soon? Batman and Time Waits (great second issue btw; now Dylan Waits for the final chapter) end soon, Public and other Domain are done with their arcs; Dylan smells something cooking and it isn't the cheese in your beard.

My main store was out of the A cover for Time Waits, but man Kagan did a good job on this cover. It makes you wonder what you two on a more grounded story would look like 👀

Definitely working on more comics, just ... not quite at the same pace as before! It'll be a long while before anything is announced!

Then the good news is you're not retiring! Unless you want to? Then please do?? Just take care out there.

Looking forward to your 3C3C (three Chips and three Canadas) series that’s fun with poutine and boobs and doesn’t require a physics meta-quantum computer nerd degree to read it.

dear chip,

excellent newsletter as always.

quick question: are you saying that Garfield has telepathy because he communicates with Jon via thought bubbles?

thank you!

love

great question. garfield actually communicates with other animals using telepathy, though there are some indications that Jon can pick up a general sense of what garfield is thinking at times

Expand full comment

Thank you for the clarification!

That makes sense, especially because Jon is a human which is a kind of an animal.

Animals, they’re just like us!

As a card carrying Circle Member, I approve of this. 3W3M is a collaborative universe and another of everything is just what we've been crying out for.

See you at TBubz, Chip. May someone at least show you the Majestic Bathrooms at least once while you're here.

Majestic Bathrooms is my FIRST STOP

They've thrown us for a loop moving Mid-Con from the hotel, but Kieron et. al. will still be partying from in there.

ohhh the world-building thing. the next time my brother tries to sell me on Dune I'm just gonna tell him "Chip said 'no,'" so thank you for that. anyway, who has time for Dune when I have a Chip-pile of books to dig into?

On Chip-La I would be successful with red pants and loving it where maudlin may not exist
