Safe travels! Also, you'll never know what they're saying about you in Barcelona (and by "they," I mean Jorge). And anyway, I'm sure he's already tops on your enemies list because he's the embodiment of Michelangelo. And you're likely sitting near him. That's going to be rough, man.

dear chip,

good luck! (you asked for it!)

love,

myq

PS that cartoon you drew is great! one thing, did you realize that what you drew added a layer of meaning that wasn't there in the original quote?

PPS this is a great newsletter. have you thought about also having a BAD newsletter that you could call "the shit hits the fans"?

PPPS sorry this has so many postscripts. i understand that if my comment were twice as short, it would be better. (IF it's good.)

Ah these newsletters are the highlights of any of my days. Speaking of enemies, I don’t land on said list right? We’re more like...Frenemies I think. I see what I can get to loose from behind ur mouth, u cut me off before I can, we have a couple laughs.

Frenemies.

Anywho, I’m super psyched for Failsafe to drop in collected format. I confess most of my trade purchases these days go digital (just to save on space in my home, but for this volume, I’m willing to make an exception.

And speaking of Daredevil, how many more issues do we have left with you on there? What issue is going to be the magic number to bring this all to a head? God I cannot believe ur run is almost finished. I can scarcely recall a time u weren’t writing horn head...gonna be earth shattering seeing you go...no...I promised I wouldn’t cry...sniff sniff...

Anywho, hope u enjoy the Barcelona night life, just be sure to avoid to alcohol served from under the counter...never know where that stuff has been

Hey Chip,

If I order the Canadian version of your book, is it like ordering the British version of the Harry Potter books?

On an unrelated note, is there a Canadian word for snogging, and if not, should there be?

Love your enemies Chip. Give them a hug, pull them in close, smell their nose, compliment their chapped lips, suggest they brush AND floss twice a week, but LOVE them!

If you're going wild in Barcelona, try to get calçots. You wear a bib and gloves then lower giant green onions into your mouth.

Oooooo - an ENEMIES LIST 😼 I am RIGHT THERE WITH YOU, BUDDY. At the top of my list is the jerk who hijacked my IG account and is now running Crypto scams on all of my dim-witted family, friends, and followers using my account, impersonating ME! And NEXT on my list is the so-called Instagram “support” department which has been ANYTHING but helpful 🤬 third on my list is HOME DEPOT, with their ridiculous 48 hour return policy on appliances - WTF!?! Whatever happened to “the customer is always right!?!” And that’s just from the last week... experienced total Zen derailment this weekend, man

On a somewhat serious note, I kinda resonate with that “who hurt you; everyone” bit. I’m not at all an angry guy with enemies, more just a hurt and sad one. I just...remember everything...lol

Anyway, have a fun and safe trip!

For someone with so many enemies, here is photo evidence that Chip is a dedicated hugger. You managed to fully embrace that man's rather large, "tanned" torso. It is possible you did this out of a justifiable fear that he might eat you.

He was soft yet firm. A top ten hug.

Hi Chip: May I suggest while you are in Barcelona please Kill All the Churros, preferably by dunking them into a cup of molten chocolate. If this makes me your enemy, I accept my fate. Luckily, you will miss all of my squeeing about Daredevil #9. Wishing you a safe & fun trip. Lock up the churros!
