Random Goodness
The new book is ready. It’s a good one, too, much better than Standing at the Edge of History. I have a Sunday Comix meeting on Sunday and I am going to bring the proof. Hope they like it!
Now I just have to figure out how I want to do the Hatman comic. I have a vague idea for the cover. I’m no good at design. I’m a jokester, not a graphic artist.
It is so freakin’ cold here. I am sick of it. The sun has been out yesterday and today and it really perked me up. A’course, that isn’t going to last. Jackie told me the other day that her fiancee calculated that Ohio gets about 90 days of sun a year. I’d say that’s maybe a low number but it does stay gray in the winter here. Bill Watterson is right. An Ohio gray sky is different. Maybe it’s being an Ohioan, but the winter sky here is just…different.
Tomorrow is my Dad’s 81st birthday, or would have been. Not gonna be a pleasant day, even though it’s Friday. I hope this gets easier soon. I am also sick of crying and I only have two Xanax left. Gah.
I had a very nice IM chat with Max Ink today. He is an interesting guy. I’m glad we’re becoming friends. He understands how the crap in your head can weigh you down and make the drawing harder. He also told me to stop looking at my Stat Counter. A wise man, indeed.
Speaking of Stat Counter, I got a hit from Fox News the other day. It wasn’t the Bill. He’s on vacation this week and he wouldn’t be bothered with actually reading the comic. I emailed Megyn Kelly and asked her if she read it but no response as expected. Maybe it was Roger Ailes! WHA HAHAHAHA!!! That’d be great! I did email him once. There was a little rumor floating around about two years ago that FNC was going to do a primetime newscast so I emailed Mr. Ailes and told him I thought Bill would be excellent at that. And you know what? He responded! (Yeah, Roger Ailes wrote me back, Bill. Stick that in yer pipe and smoke it.) He was very nice and told me I was mistaken about the show but not about Bill’s talent. Wonder if he ever told Bill about it. Doubtful. He’s a busy guy. World Domination is tough, just ask George Bush.
