when packing for a month away a man's brain comes up with way more terrible possible scenarios than he does in his life as a fiction writer. #
listen if you had any idea how i just reacted to leaving these kittens for a month, you'd know my head's much worse that you think. #
from now on all communication from me will end with #metaphor #
funny that the tsa at jfk doesn't bother with the scanners for INTL flights. i guess they figure other countries can fend for themselves. #
anyone need a 'vogue bambini'? whoever sat in this seat on the way to NY left me well informed on italian kids' fashion. #
GOODBYE NY + USA. see you in a month. #

artists draw spider-man like he belongs over that skyline. i think they should draw him like he doesn't. #
i can disagree with @royalboiler about many things but we will always come together over our love of terrible old man pun-comedy #

i know it's inclusive but it's kind of sad to see the old Latino neighborhood supermarket change all their signs to English #
they changed the sign over the arepas to say ' columbian corn cakes'. :( #
. @hanselthelost that's all Photoshop and ancient enchantments #
people who honk their horn the second the light changes should be shot in the face. or something more practical. #
"@ThoughtBubbleUK shot out of a giant horn? Less practical, more poetic." PERFECT! #
public svc announcement: @jasonaaron & RM Guera's SCALPED is the single best American comic & probably the best series vertigo's ever done #

my favorite writer is whoever writes the @UrbanDaddy_NYC emails #
anyone know what the deal is with all the TV "upfronts" ads all over manhattan? #
hard to yell at a kitten to stop doing something when her response is to look around the room to see who you're yelling at #

when ubisoft says "we're gonna unlock this if we get enough hits" there is no PR reality where they later say: sorry, we didn't get enough. #
i mean marketing is marketing but you come on, guys. think about how it would look for them to announce they didn't have enough interest. #

(people who follow that kind of nonsense on twitter) #me #
people who eat weird cuban sandwiches #futureme #
also believe me i am well aware i am way worse that everyone else in those examples #
also occurs to me that not reading comics news sites means i get comics news via 140 char. paraphrases of those sites #exponentiallyworse #
basically what i'm saying here is my life is a shambles #

COMICS: you took a gig for less $ based on budget or as a favor, & you handed in C work for a C rate. THIS IS A MISTAKE http://t.co/EVFfbedN #

10 shitty business emails are completely overpowered and drowned by 1 email with a single page of art. #
couldn't be more lucky in how many amazing artists i'm in contact with but when it comes time to get a new book together my brain goes blank #
like when they used to have video stores and you'd get there and forget all the movies you wanted to see #
i love @chuckbb #
people who are supposedly above marvel and DC but never stop talking about marvel and DC #
i dunno if it's twitter or just 10+ years of comics but i feel like that weird sci-fi bath tub lady plugged into all this crazy information. #
all these conversations and dramas and dealings and opinions that i'm embarrassed to even understand #
i wanna be connor willumsen when i grow up #
marvel and DC are comics. but that doesn't mean comics is marvel and DC. #
been looking at what comics printing costs, hadn't looked in a long time. basically: printing is a tiny fraction of the cost of an issue. #
i'm not defending the pricing of anything, but if anyone thinks digital publishing is saving publishers a lot of money you should dig a bit. #
"@vanaman if marvel dc are comics but comics aren't marvel and dc is the cosine of comics still a penis" #
fingers crossed, may've found a new place in brooklyn. just in time to leave for europe for 6 weeks. #
if this new house works out my bar area will triple in size, drastically improving my writing and/or shortening my life. #
