dear chip,

this is all great.

i just have one question.

regarding the mouse getting a deep tissue massage, would you call it a "mouse-sage"?

and if so, is that how you would spell it?

thank you for sharing as always!

love,

myq

Maybe the mice can give you a back massage? They must have picked up some pointers. Like, get 20 lab mice and make them wear these cool little mice-sized clogs and they can walk all over you back? And no happy endings you perv!

Are you okay? When I got hit by a truck a decade and a half ago Purdue pharma was really pushing this drug OxyContin bc of it LOW LOW rate of addiction, and I never felt better! Anyways definitely ask your dr about it! Ignore all the elite liberal peer reviewed science saying the opposite and all the BS from the MSM about it being a “silent killer”

Also just read the new ‘burn great issue! I am interested in where this back story is going too... The universe is so lived in I am hoping we might get even more expansion, maybe an NCU (Newburn Comic Universe)

I know you don't control the collections of your books, but will the Newburn backups be collected separately?

Nope! They're just for single issues. Everyone who works on them have full copyright so they can reprint them anywhere they choose.

Damn it Chip, that means I'll have to double dip. Oh well 🤷‍♂️

Ordered Okinawa. Trying to get into the manga world, this will be the first manga that isn't Berserk I've bought in years!

WHOA! That's a heavy second manga!

I highly recommend PLUTO if you want something that kind of touches American comics. And WAY OF THE HOUSEHUSBAND is beautiful and very funny.

I ordered PLUTO and added WAY OF THE HOUSEHUSBAND to my reading list! Thank you very much for the recommendations! Excited to start reading manga!

The visual of mice getting and receiving tiny messages is adorable. Maybe those same scientists can give you a massage too, Chip?

I watched this interview the other day & thought the red Did It shirt was a reference to you completing your run on DD.

Speaking of DD, thanks for taking the time to answer all those DD questions at the Reddit AMA & for mentioning Marco’s AMA too.

Re: That’s great, the MS team released a manga. Congratulations.

I hope you’re feeling better post volleyball. Have a great week Chip.

I can walk so it's not THAT bad! Just don't ask me to pick anything up

Glad you’re mobile, Chip. Walking is good.

Oh autocorrect argh! I meant tiny massages not tiny messages. Fun with faux pas and all that.

May you be able to pick things up soon.

Newburn remains my favourite current comic. I think at one point you teased sharing a script to paid subscribers - maybe issue #3, which to me is a basically perfect single issue.

Relatedly, might you ever share the pilot script you wrote? I imagine that would be more like 5 years away if ever, but a man can hope…
