Love it love it love it! I am totally hooked. Gawd it's agonizing reading only two pages at a time. Work harder, dammit! I know you barely sleep as it is but sleep is a luxury I will not grant you.

I can't believe you like this.
What's going on?

I didn't know they made Shultz in 40s.

Mesmerizing artwork as always, Tim.

Well, I will do something to fix my lack luster story telling on the very next page.

It's not the 40's anymore...

Can't say too much, your early draft is coming back to me. I wonder if others see anything coming, though.

Mmmm, Shultz, The Beer That Made St. Paul Famous! TM --at least it beats "Geneseo" Beer. Or "Ithaca Club."

Isn't that shlitz?
I made shultz up...I hope

Yeah, Schlitz, and it made *Milwaukee* famous. St. Paul is where Sparky was born, get it?

(For the record, Geneseo and Ithaca Club have also had their names changed to protect the innocent bad beer makers.)

Shultz beer refers to someone who lives in your town BTW.

wow..yeah, I'm dialed in to this too.:)
About how many pages is this slated to run for?

A graphic novel of shortish length.
I will have to be a strict self-editor to keep around the 80-page mark.

This is the first story in a trilogy of course.

If the movies do well, I can see a tv spin off too.

I always keep more than my fair share of the change when I buy alcohol for minors.

Just curious - do you draw and color everything out before you letter the page...or do you cheat like John Byrne and draw/ink your page after lettering it?

Now now, take your John Byrne issues elsewhere, Chris.

I make more work for myself by lettering after I ink.

'SAFARI' ...HOT diggety I can see the Elephant connection!!!

Also good to see that you are continuing to put Korean womanhood on the comics map, nearly singlehandedly. Commendable.

Oh man, I agree with Joan 100%. I want more! I am so intrigued...

I hope you will care about the characters too.
Like, cry and stuff when they die.

Thanks.
I know the Pervis does not lie.

Sad to say, it's hard to remember what it was like being an angry teen.
