So stoked you’re coming to PNW I am there! I am getting that zdarksy’s Zdarlings comment printed and signed (if you truly cherish your Zdarlings...................)
Hey Chip, forgive the unusually serious comment, but I wanted to ask - is there any other way we can support you directly that isn't substack? (Without getting into specifics; I'd love to keep supporting you, but I'm uncomfortable with my money also going to substack. No worries if not!)
On topic: holy shit I'm actually insanely excited for Avengers twilight, I forgot it was coming out so soon aaaaaaaa
oh trust me I'm ALSO trying to figure out how to support myself without substack! Every time I look at alternatives I'm losing something major. I don't want to lose the comments, I don't want to open the floodgates to ANYONE commenting, I don't want to lose the PDF/CBZ hosting ability, and I also can't afford to pay 500 bucks a month to send out a newsletter! It is ... not a good situation.
No plans at the moment. If we go to any comic convention it will be HeroesCon in Charlotte. We haven't been since 2019 (aka pre-COVID). Been away from large crowds for so long we've both gone feral; like, do we even remember how to act around a lot of people?? LOL!
Sad to see Kaptara end - all good things, I get it - but glad to see that you're booked for ECCC!! Will you be doing any panels?
I haven't started following Mangasplaining and now at 109 episodes it seems like the MCU or Trek; just too many episodes to even begin, as I'll never catch up! Intrigued but intimidated
Also, getting old is when you go get a haircut and see all this gray hair in the ground and you say, “Who was the geezer in here before me? Whatcha forget to sweep up, Joe?” And Joe sighs and says, “Maybe you should want to trim those eyebrows and buzz your ears?” And then you squint into the mirror and the thought bubble says “Holy fuck are those my ear lobes?” Yeah, THAT happened this weekend.
my least favourite part about the barber is when they wet my hair and then comb it straight up to trim it and I can see through the few hairs that I have at my bare scalp, a harbinger of the next ten years
I subscribed to Avengers Twilight in print so my copy will probably show up on Sat. Looks really good.
And congratulations on finishing Kaptara and lots of manga talk and visiting the Emerald City (Please pay attention to that Chip behind the curtain! He truly is a Wiz.) That’s not sexual. Have a great week, Chip.
I don't know I've ever heard Kaptara said aloud. Don't tell anyone I was pronouncing like Kap-tair-uh all this time. I'll be ruined!
you sick FREAK

Totally understand - I was kinda bummed to learn more about substack because I think this is a cool as hell format for creator/user interaction
If you find anything else just let us know on here ^^
Oh yeah, hopefully any move I make will be seamless
Chip-En-Zdar will take care of you soon enough. Good riddance. "Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed," indeed.
Oh I see, Emerald City Comic Con when I’m not going?!?! Thanks Chip!!!
you made your choice
"Final issue of Kaptara"? Nooooo!! "Not everything is sexual"??? Blasphemy!!! LOL!
Wish we lived in the NW near Seattle. Been ages since we've seen you! Hope you have a great time at ECCC!
Yeah! What shows are you guys doing, if any?

Ha! Same!
Is Avengers Twilight more of a team Jacob or Team Edward kinda story?
Either way, ECCC keeps advertising that the cast of Twilight will be there, so at least I can get issue one signed.
oh god I would LOVE that

I believe I have a "spotlight" panel? There may be a Batman thing as well.
And the beauty of mangasplaining is that it's TIMELESS! You can start with episode one and just try the ones where you're interested in the books!

Spotlight panel, sweeeeet. Maybe they'll record your panels for streaming and/or livestream them. Make sure that the camera catches your good side!
oh god I say WAY too many embarrassing things to be livestreamed
Daniel Acuna. Just shivers, man.

You should have Bruce start losing his hair. Not sure a robot hand is something I can aspire to. 😂
Bushy-Tail…Bushy-Chin…same difference right?
I dunno, I think you’re aging in reverse Chip.

hm sounds sexual
Um…busted. My polite innuendo exposed.
May your week be wonderful Chip.
Avengers??? In THIS ECONOMY? you're a madman, chip, and I'm here for it.
