I’m glad you’re enjoying NYC!

How does it feel being the most handsome man in any given room?

Would you mind asking Jorge that for me?

It’s always starts innocently enough with the. Central Park caricature. Then it’s that three-card Monty game on the corner. Then a fake Rolex and knockoff Gucci bag. Next thing you’re flat broke and hustling in Park & 35th and can’t even get to your own signing ... I miss those days!

I'm glad you're enjoying NYC. Make sure to watch out for ninjas, arachnid guys, and large rats that know martial arts.

Does Jorge draw Bruce based off of himself? Cuz goddamn, he's handsome.

Fingers crossed, Jorge's run can at least rival Aparo, his designs are perfect for these characters, and Gotham feels more like a living place than any previous iteration to me.

Someone should warn Jorge that Jim Aparo is actually the Spectre now. At any moment now Jorge might find his skin stretched into a tablecloth on a table of his bones flipped for eternity.

Chip! Just saw you walking down 8th Ave. It was almost midnight and I didn’t want to bother/scare you. Hope you had a great day.

That caricature is spot on, though you really should get a wallet instead of carrying those money bags all the time!

Can't wait to see you there, Chip! Two fellas from 'Trannah in NYC? May be treasonous to Canada so I won't say anything if you don't.

I've spent too much money this year so sadly I can't make the trip to NYCC, so I humbly beg of thee: next time you're in the States, swing by northeast Ohio - everything's way less expensive and our pizza is far, far better! And so is our ice cream! PIZZA AND ICE CREAM, CHIP! Even for vegetarians! ARE YOU NOT ENTICED?!

If not, that's cool too though.

Welcome back to NY, Chip. A Raw signature? That sounds appropriate and painful.

I guess photos with you are free? (Not mentioned above.)

Speaking of photos, I spy your eye of Ehgamatto. It’s a great peeper.

See you today! Yay! 😈👏

Speaking of signings, remember back when we mailed comics to you to sign? You were very nice to add a sketch of yourself on a Crossover #7 I sent in, among others. It was a very pleasant surprise! Too bad it’s my brother’s book, so he gets to keep it. Just wanted to say thanks for that! Honestly, can’t think of a better sketch of a character than yourself. You’re the best! Have a great and safe time this week ^_^
