Woo! You're alive!

I wish I were. But then I've just finished an entire bottle of wine while watching "Nim's Island."

Congrats on the new job!

It's not yet been ENTIRELY proven I'm alive. I could just be in some weird purgatory that just seeeeems like the real world, but NAH I don't believe that for a second. Nachos surely couldn't taste this good in purgatory. Mmmm Nachos.

Nothing like eating super messy food right over the keyboard!

So i hear you are drawing comics now! Wait but who's holding down the fumetti-fort nowadays!

Superyates. We can count on him. I'll be sorry if he ever gives up.

I decided to draw for a number of reasons. 1) I have no space for photography 2) I really want to continue to tell the story 3) I own more of the IP rights.

Anyway, count down to comic re-launch is on its way. January 5 is the day of reckonning. So to speak.

However, I'm thinking about posting the comics as I draw them in protected LJ posts.

Welcome back Colleen! Congrats on the new gig too!

I look forward to more of your silliness in the days/weeks/months and years to come.

I felt like my silly was amputated these past years. Like I could sorta feel it like a missing arm, but I couldn't use it.

Luckily they can now do INCREDIBLE things with fake limbs.

I am so glad you said 'limbs" instead of "prosthetics". The latter would have conjured too many disturbing possible interpretations.

Yay! You're back in the fake world of the internet! Just in time to be awesome at SPX with us!

How is it we are in the same borough but we never see each other!?! Surely something in wrong with the world!

Up until today I wans't going to SPX. I decided against a table after some non-awesomeness last year...but reading more and more posts I totally want to go now! I don't want to exhibit or anything, but I just want to hang around all you awesome folk! Perhaps I shall make this happen. I bet I could find someone with ass space in their car and floor space in their hotel room!

Um...I just realized I don't even know when it is! I think I have some Nancy Drew-ing to do!

It's the weekend after next, and *I* have ass space in my car! Talk to Robin tomorrow!

Okay, I'm pretty sure that the one person in the comics world who I actively avoid works for first second, but it is a long story that involves me a.) not being able to correctly pronounce "Joann Sfar" for any amount of money, and b.) having too many Coronas and being kind of an uncharacteristic dick.

So otherwise, congratulations! And good luck with the surgery; you'll look so cute with tiny little legs.

I have a LOT of trouble believing you could ever be a dick! Also there's only four of us on staff total (one marketing, two editors, and soon MEEE!) and I'm real close with all the other people. I will set them right if there is any weirdness, which I totally doubt.

Truth be told it's a bit of a joke around the office that I can't pronounce the names of any of our french authors. There's a part missing from my brain that can do accents of any form. Somehow I make bonjour rhyme with the thing you use when your toilet is clogged.

I'm looking for foder to get my ass to go to SPX since :01 doesn't have a booth there. You going to be there by any chance?

More over private e-mail.

No. :( I really wanted to go, but there are several things going on right now that prevent me going. One is not having money, the other is trying to sell out condo and buy a house, and the last is a secret.

A pretty awesome secret, though, if it works.

I'm not going to SPX either.

Not going to SPX is totally the new going-to-SPX. Stay ahead of the curve!
