Chip, I just about "chipped" my pants listening to this week's The Best Show. The boys (including John Hodgman) were talking about Howard the Duck, and Scharpling casually referenced "my friend Chip Zdarsky." Whaaa? Have you been on The Best Show? I haven't quite listened to every episode or else I would know.
Based on the awesome Handey and Swartzwelder recommendations, I wanted to give a shout-out to Simon Rich's books if you haven't read those yet. I'm reading his new one New Teeth right now and it's a hoot and a half. That's like 1½ owls of funny.
Thanks for answering both of my questions! Plus a bonus 100% original Doop sketch by Chip "Michael "Doc" Allred" Zdarsky?! It's worthy of a mural over in the Hammock District.
My pleasure! I usually hate giving writing advice because who the fuck do I think i am, but that bit seems like a no-brainer building block kind of thing
Thanks for answering but as in the style of my life I literally just received an email saying they sold out of your and Kagan's signed Kaptara! No shit. I ordered it and they said they had it but now they don't and I can have a refund or another book. The Motivational Orb is definitely giving me advice on this!
Guess what? They apparently were "motivated" to make it right by sending me a free unsigned copy. So I guess I got that going for me! By the way I'm sure you have heard this but my wife thinks you should name your run on Batman.....Batman Without Fear.
Or even Batman Without Ears! You’ve read about the blind lawyer. Now read about the deaf billionaire. Money talks and Bruce reads lips! (ok, I don’t really know what that means)
here for Doop Robin

I asked Google and found out.
The answer is yes!
I did the show when I was in New York for a Marvel retreat and it was maybe the best night of my life?

Oooo that looks great! Will check it out, thanks!

Why does only Year One Batman jauntily toss his cape over his shoulder?

Hank Scorpio is also my favorite simpsons episode! lmao!
Thanks for the in-depth answer!

I just watched a certain movie, and now I have questions:
Does the Batman sit?
Can the Batman turn his head?
Why is the blind hero who uses echolocation not called the Batman?
> Or don’t! I get it, you’re busy! Making MONEY to spend on COMICS!!!
This. That's why my Substack stacks up until the weekends. We'll see if the app helps.
Also, thanks for the comedic novel recommendations! I will check those out.
Thanks, Chip! That was a good read.
I know
