Indulge me this one time
This week sees my birthday, which is tomorrow (I'll be 23), and the second anniversary of this here blog. The biggest change from the beginning of this blog to now is that I'm something of a professional in the comics industry. I used this site to get my name out and combined with a bit of hustling I actual got a few places to pay me for my ramblings. It's actually a bit bewildering at times because I've never been too confident in my writing but I can't say I'm not enjoying this. The comics industry can be a pretty crazy place but I've found if you go in with the right mindset it can be worthwhile to explore. It's certainly a lot better than any other job I've had. I'm certainly proud of this article which showcases people in comics way smarter than I'll ever be.
I've been told plenty of times that I should be thankful to get such work early on. I certainly am. In particular I would like to thank Heidi MacDonald, Calvin Reid, Douglas Wolk, Dirk Deppey, Michael Dean, Tom Spurgeon, Tim Leong, Larry Young, James Sime and the Isotope gang, Mike, Dorian, Tom and everyone else in the ACAPCWOVCCAOE, The McMillans, Eric Reynolds, Dean Haspiel and probably a whole bunch more people I feel bad about leaving out. Thank goodness this isn't the Oscars. I'd be thrown off stage by now.
There might be a few changes coming to this site. Hopefully it will look a lot more, well, professional. But even as I find it harder and harder to work in time for this blog be assured I will always make use of a forum that allows me to go off unedited and unrefined.
One more thing: please buy the second issue of Wholphin when you see it, which should be soon. I you can order it right now if you're the impatient type. We worked ever so hard on it and I do think you get a lot of good stuff for $16. Errol Morris interviews Donald Trump about Citizen Kane, Bob Odenkirk's unreleased pilot, Steve Carrell and the nerdy guy from Freaks and Geeks and a monkey-faced eel. Check out all the crazy stuff on our website while you're at it. That "Street Moves" video was short where I used to live, for those of you who want a taste of SoCal suburbia. It's what me made me who I am today.
