CHIP I WILL SEE YOU NEXT SATURDAY THAT'S NOT A THREAT IT'S A PROMISE

(I kid, I kid. The sounding unhinged part I mean; I actually am going to try to make the three hour trek to CXC.)

I actually met you (and Fraction) for the first time at CXC in 2017, and my copy of Sex Criminals v.4 was the first one you'd ever signed (or seen in person too, if I remember correctly), and you gave me a sneak peek at some Jim Cheung work for Marvel 2-in-1! I'm not going to think about how that was seven years ago because it hurts my brain. Also, CXC's guest list is stacked this year, geez: you, Kate Beaton, Bryan Lee O'Malley... I'm gonna throw my back out if I try to take everything I want to try to get signed.

Also are you going to have any copies of ZCN #2 by chance? My LCS either forgot to order them or it otherwise got messed up. If not, no big deal. Coincidentally thanks to Diamond shenanigans I don't have a copy of Time Waits yet either, but it's supposed to be in this Wednesday so that should be okay.

I'm not travelling with anything, but the local shop LAUGHING OGRE will be stocking my work there! Maybe they'll have ZCN #2? Sadly I gave all mine away at Rose City a couple of weeks ago.

Time Waits was so good. Mr. Brothers can sure write. And what more to say about Mr. To? Great fight sequences. Looking forward to next issue!

Hey Chip! Do you feel threatened by Scott Snyder and Absolute Batman? If so, when can we expect you to slash his tires?

Not at all. I currently have plans to make Batman even more swole than Absolute Batman.

Happy 🦇 day Chip. May your signing go smoothly too.

Happy to hear about more Public Domain next week. Yay! Still laughing about Mr. Brown so I am excited to read what’s next.

Congrats on ZCN gaining more comics publisher advertising. When I have something to advertise, I will just throw* the money your way…

*Um, naah. My aim sucks, so I will politely hand the money over instead (more my style.)

Will definitely pick up Time Waits at some point. Like the theme and the art. Great interview with you & David too.

Also enjoyed the YouTube conversation (I can relate to the lost 20 minutes - I lost 15 minutes of an interview with John Carpenter because I forgot to hit the record button. My expression was similar to yours in that YT thumbnail.)

Have a neat time at the con next week & talking at Ohio U (Maybe you are a Professor of Salesmanship?)

I’ll be waiting for Public Domain 9 & your Creepshow story with Kagan.

Thanks as always, Chip.

When I was a journalist my greatest fear was lost recordings. I always had TWO devices recording just in case!
