God, I wish I could have made it to NYCC this year. Almost unfair how hard that and San Diego can be to book, when there’s already so many people returning! Hope you had a fun time.

So the news I’m hearing about Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee, I can’t tell if that is supposed to be a temporary thing for them to do their hush 2, or if they are taking over Batman from you. I certainly hope that is not the case.

Oh, and btw, they finally fixed the digital version of your Batman Joker Year 1 finally. So happy times there. Which is why I hope you do not mind me asking you to call upon your friend who helped you and I again, and ask what the problem is for Batman/Superman WF vol 4, and Detective Comics Vol 3 by Ram. Like urs they also have been unreleased, almost 2 months later. Not sure if your buddy can help, but I figure there’s no harm in asking.

So, I’ve been meaning to ask if there’s any new projects in the horizon for you that you plan to announce? Be very interested in seeing what new is coming from you for us fans!

Anyways, keep up the good work Chip!

URGENT EXPOSURE OP!!

Ryan,

I've got a 700 page graphic novel called "Chip The Chump" that needs some exclamations of distress or pain I haven't thought of. Also, there's a sequence about spaghettification as Chip gets drawn through a series of black holes that you could put some sciencey hand-wavery too. AHOY might publish split up into comic issues but unless I can find a way to make that painful I'm not that crazy about the plan. Thoughts how dividing the book up would hurt? Your name included on cover and spine. ZOOP is very interested in the whole book. So, great exposure for you and any badges, bookmarks etc if I go with ZOOP.

Let me know by next week, mkay? I'll send a PDF of the inked, coloured pages then. The empty balloons are where I need input.

Chip,

Congratulations on the character based on your image in the new Creature Commandos animation from DC on Max.

Did Batman change from biweekly to monthly for any reasons on your end? Hopefully this means more time for Jorge 🤞

We were told it was biweekly so we made a biweekly book and then were told it's now monthly so 🤷‍♂️

So you are ahead and get to take a much earned break?

Hi Chip, those Tears for Fears are real. Unless you were chopping up tiny 🧅.

Someday, I will obtain a groovy inkwash head sketch from you, until then I am pleased to obtain another Sharpie for the Horny Prime Collection.

As kindly mentioned above, NYCC table info: you are sitting at table F-44 and Marco is at table F-1 (And Jorge Fornes is in a completely different row!🙄 NYCC table layout being so cruel dammit! Almost feels like a game of Battleship.🫣🤭) I won’t mention hot dogs whenever I stop by, promise.

I will bring my copy of Creepshow along with a DD issue though.

It’ll be nice to see you again.

Safe travels and hot diggity dogging or something, Chip.

Welcome back to New York! 🙂

What an amazing display of humble, modern masculinity. And to share work, in this economy is a testament to your generosity.

Those who made you cry, though. Those people are monsters.

Stay strong Chip.

The street meat you'll consume (and soon after extrude) at NYCC will be punishment enough for these fake tears, Chip.
