Chipster C Chippington Esq. of the House of Zdarasky, this is to declare I had not known of this MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE run and will rectify this as soon as is possible as is advised by legal counsel to avoid further harrassment. Good day, sir. I said, sir: Good. Day.
You've been posting about how handsome Jorge is and I think this is my first time seeing him, you are publishing the truth! The bravery of you to take a photo with him, I would never.
I don't want to spoil things, but I really want to know your thoughts on portrayals of certain characters in certain, recently finished seasons of shows. I very much liked how the show itself commented on (and predicted) things happening in our world. But I'm very mad at how 1 characterization was changed 😠
Hi Chip I succumbed to the paid subscription so my ramblings can match yours- first shout out to your omnibuses for Daredevil I just got Vol. 2 and they're beautiful. Loved seeing Cole North in DDBA as he was one of my favorite characters in your run. If this is the best place I wanted to ask as an aspiring writer... how tf did you come up with chip zdarsky my best friend is obsessed with your name (and work) lol and I have some other (legal industry) career aspirations and cant fathom how Charles Soule went to law school and writes comics (my potential dilemma) so... how to brainstorm good name? or if you could do it all again... would you use your real?
Ha! Well, it was supposed to just be a one-off for a student newspaper comic strip, but one thing led to another and now here we are! "Chip" was based on Charles Schulz as Chip is short for Charles. And I stole Zdarsky from a friend's ex-girlfriend to always remind him of the one who got away.
And I am definitely glad to not have used my real name! I kind of hate that my real name is out there at all, but I had to use it when I worked for newspapers as a columnist and illustrator. If I had to do it all over again I would have come up with an entirely fake last name as I do feel bad that a "fake Zdarsky" is the biggest google result for Zdarsky. OOPS.
You got a Spidey mention yay! I am sad to hear you probably won’t be at NYCC, I understand. May I catch up on more Chip comic goodness by then.
And, yes, I’ve caught Cole in his appearances in DDBA (and, too, the first hint that he’s not happy with his current gig.) Also love that this version of the DD show leans into your idea of Matt being violence addict (Tweaked to suit the MCU, but cool nonetheless.)
Looking forward to reading the FCBD F4 and hope you have a nice remainder to your week.
it would be cool if they adapted your spideman story's! when I see that lll be like " oh thats chip! " oh I saw something on twitter ..and wow ( choking P... so hard with my hands ) anyway , ever thought doing ultimate daredevil ?
it is weird but it will be kinda cool! imagine you did and daredevil still bossing around a old Spider-Man just like ultimate comics back then . lll tell you what I meant from that :) soon on may 03
I think that exchange with the omniscient text box might be one of the best yet. I laughed way harder at that than I probably should have. Also, thanks for reminding me that I need to get both the Time Waits HC and Fate of the Four TP. My Chipllection will never be complete, but I still try.
Thanks! Just ordered it again. I preordered it a month or so ago and it said it was not available on 4.1. Weird. Chip’s got the magic touch so this Chip can buy Chip’s stuff. Thanks again!
I ordered the “Time Waits” hardcover for me, but not my mom, because you said so Chip!
Are you gonna be at NYCC this year? Because if you’re not, then what’s the point of me even going?
Woo! Thanks for the order!
And I'm not sure about NYCC just yet? All signs point to no, sadly!
Would this change your mind?
(Pulls out a single dollar bill and pops it)💵
wait, an AMERICAN dollar???
My mom will never get a copy from me, no matter how much she begs. Them's the rules, mom!
no no you can LEND it to your moms and uncles that's fine
I love that photo of you and your twin with that All-Star Batman! One of the best Whatnot snags I ever got. It’s an honor to have it.

It would be more upsetting if it wasn't for the fact that I get to be near him and bask in his glow!!!!

Ha! Answered in the newsletter I just sent out!

Thanks for everything, Chip!
You had me at “gorgeous package”
;)

haha I won't even ask what you saw on twitter and I DEFINITELY don't want to know what "choking P" stands for!!
I have never thought about doing any comic until someone asks me to do that comic. Weird, I know!
it is weird but it will be kinda cool! imagine you did and daredevil still bossing around a old Spider-Man just like ultimate comics back then . lll tell you what I meant from that :) soon on may 03
I went to order the Time Waits HC and I accidentally typed in Tom...and well, you know the rest :)
(Don't hate me Chip)
(Okay, Hate me, I still love you)
it's a nice kind of hate
