I believe a man like Charlie there is what the fancy folks call, a Savant. Or a renaissance man as my old neighbor would say. But hey, think of this. For all the incredible things he’s done, who’s been writing Batman huh? Whose done what’s arguably the most iconic DD run of the modern age? And who can grow a beard like no one else? Is it Charlie soule?
DON’T THINK SO!!
Though that Star Wars bit is rather impressive I won’t lie. Suppose you have to concede him that one.
But hey, the future is still forthcoming, who knows what you’ll end up doing in a few years from now? Maybe u end up a DC consultant and get to say, “Actually Batman would grunt more like this, and he glowers on top a gargoyle more like that.”
You just never know what’s coming next for you.
But that being said, one should always celebrate their frenemies successes, because they make the best inspiration for one to do better.
I agree with your view of overachievers. Thank you for sharing the Charlie Brown strip it was the first time I ever read. I too have and probably always will feel like Charlie Brown.
I really appreciate all the Charles Soule hate/love. Excited for this Kickstarter and will add his new Shrouded College project to the list of great things he's doing. His Star Wars work has also done more to get me back into the far far away than Disney+.
You know now Barcelona folks are going to see this and double down on their mistake, or just put your picture and label it James Tynion too. My spouse and I are actually in Barcelona and leaving a day before everything starts. We could offer to go clear things up, but won't.
Love that Matt Rosenberg thinks of you while grocery shopping.
I look at somebody like Charles Soule and I just think, save some talent for the rest of us!
How is it fair that someone *can* do all that he’s done, let alone *actually* do it all?!
I know he’s worked hard to gain and fine tune his skills over the years so that those skills come across so effortlessly that it appears like something as simple as “talent,” but it’s so much easier to lie to myself and hate him for having “it” while I don’t.

dear chip,
thank you for all this wonderful charlie/charles/chip news!
have you ever thought about taking over writing "peanuts" and casting yourself as charlie brown?
i think it would be great and everyone would love it except for maybe you?
love,
myq
Personally I call him Chuck bc I Chuck all his stuff away so I have more room for Chip’s stuff and my collection of gently used toothpicks.

Just saying: Perhaps it's time to create a show called Chip In Charge? (To counter Charles in Charge.)
Have fun in Spain and on the Canada tour, Chip.

Hard work? Dedication? Discipline? Nah, “talent!” I’ll keep telling myself that...
TIL you are a Big Chipper...uh, aren’t you?
