So here's an exchange that occurred yesterday:

A dramatization in one act.

Damon Xanthopoulos, spritely chap...........a heavily sedated Ashton Kutcher
Jimmy Jimmerson, sandwich artist..................................Jonathan Lipnicki

SCENE:  Goodlettsville Subway Restaurant, present day

Jimmy: What kinda bread you want?
Damon: Wheat.
Jimmy: Wait...

oook, this is my 3rd comment on this post. this is the original comment i was going to leave, but i had to comment on lindseys comments.

here you go for my real one:

i'm going to kill myself before i get to be as OLD as you are! YUCK! i mean, who wants to be in a walker and have horrible bowel problems? i wish i was a tender 17 again. and i SURE wish i could work at subway! that's my DREAM job!

I hope you're not being sarcastic, Subway's my #1 job after the Gap closes...My social security check won't cut it.

okay, this has nothing to do with your post which i actually haven't had a chance to read yet, but I WILL. Anyone one of my friends here has been writing a book lately and the other day it dawned on him just how much he wished he could draw because it would make an awesome graphic novel. Granted I have no clue about graphic novels outside of Maus so I have no clue...but I sent him a couple of your comic strips and he really liked the way you draw and so, I told him I'd try to get ahold of you and get you two in touch if you'd be at all interested in working on a graphic novel...it was very random , but seemed like a pretty decent idea. So this is me getting ahold of you to see if you'd be interested. All my love, sweetie!

[mydamonian]

Is this some clever hook-up scheme?

But seriously, interested! Get me in touch, or send me a few pages, or something...

well, he's still kinda in love with his most recent ex, but you guys would still get along ;) But tell me what e-mail you're using these days and I'll have him send you stuff...in the meantime if you jump on myspace he's on my friends page Vinny, you can drop him a line or whatever...look at fun pictures, etc ;) ;)

[mydamonian]

I won't tell you my email, because he just emailed me (aaaboo ya!).

Everyone and their brother keeps talking about myspace. The paper even had an article today. Peer pressure...

DAMON!

1) I didn't know you had a girlfriend.
2) I'm going to call you. Mark my words. Tomorrow, hopefully.

MIJIM!!!
