Wow I forgot what an extensive library or work Matt has. I loved Casanova! And November (speaking of Elsa)! So good. He’s really done a lot. And, um, you know nice stuff too Chip. 😉

Man, I don't know how much story you have planned for the Domain, but it is delightful. I should have guessed that was where the bar scene would go, but I did not. I could read a whole series about these guys and the trouble they get into with peg legs.

The human drama is also good. Keep it up!

Aw, thanks! It's a five issue mini but I'd love to come back to them later!

I have a pitch: that one bar patrol can poke the alien he was talking to and say "it's not cee gee eye... must be a practical effect"

Will the whole 32-book-cycle of THROUGH A GENTLE TECHPRISM be turned into a Disney Plus series (with minor adjustments to the smuttier sections)? Don‘t leave your fans of hard sci-fi hanging!

I’d like to say THROUGH A GENTLE TECHPRISM writes itself, but that would denigrate the work and thought you’ve…

Yeah, it writes itself.

Hi Chip,

I am so grateful you’re spreading the truth about A.I. so glad it doesn’t dream (esp. not of Electric Sheep or Ryan Stegman.)

“Well, they don’t. So that’s that.” - Zdarsky, Re: NO A.I. dreams for you or about you. (Whew!)

Your crimes and lemons are safe with me and so are the Hollywood conversations (Congratulations! So many great stories to adapt. Excited to hear what will be converted, coveted, & loved by Hollyweird.) Here’s Boatswoon!

Exciting to see the cover of ZCN #3.

So pardon my obnoxious question, will you make an NYCC only ZCN? And will you have copies of your Creepshow issue available too?

Off to read ZCN #2. Thanks again for making this available to paid subbies like Horny Prime here.

Sadly I will not have any ZCNs with me at NYCC! And probably no Creepshows either! I'm useless, Kim! USELESS!!

D’oh! Foiled by the Stromwyns again! Sheesh they suck (They also prevented me from seeing your responses until now.) I understand it might be slightly dangerous to bring ZCNs AND Creepshow to NYCC - Corruption a plenty.

No problem, I will bring the Creepshow with me (Um, I’m not a retail or con creep, just Horny Prime.)

Useless…naaah. I’ll just request another DD Remarque instead.

I sincerely hope 'Throught A Gentle Techprism' was written under the pen name "Philip K. Vagina". If not, you have my permission to use it. Be forewarned, that name comes with a lot of baggage. Ol' PKV has burned too many bridges (literally. He's wanted for the arson of several bridges in Madison County).

When will you sell your life story to Hollywood? The wider world deserves to see the wild ups and downs of the Applebee's saga (still your best work to date).

too obscene

keep on comicing, chip, my team and I ferociously gobble up everything you do. public domain speaks to the four of us as creatives who choose to work in this crazy, collaborative medium we call comics.
