Dear Internet,<br />
<br />
Ok, now we are getting somewhere. This is a comic creator's blog, after all. Let's see what Kid Me thought of Spiderman.<br />
<br />
Ok, one thing: he thought long and hard about Spiderman's <i>arms</i>. Man, look at those things.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBBeqxxMPM1cM02_sD66PlVgG8nzdembDQFGdH8VceQ0a_Rtjql5zRFI4Rh-rstziPLd9195Qh1AUv0rtMAivmSgljGvEVcAPoGXDReR3Qh3KZOEfKYbMyTUQVe3qS3PRcljG-wlAU_0UL/s1600/IMG_4160.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBBeqxxMPM1cM02_sD66PlVgG8nzdembDQFGdH8VceQ0a_Rtjql5zRFI4Rh-rstziPLd9195Qh1AUv0rtMAivmSgljGvEVcAPoGXDReR3Qh3KZOEfKYbMyTUQVe3qS3PRcljG-wlAU_0UL/s1600/IMG_4160.jpg" height="640" width="480" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I loved Spiderman. He was my <b>Favorite Superhero</b> after my Batman phase (I'll refrain from going into the details
of my Batman phase). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He had a lot going for him, that guy. He was strong. He was acrobatic. Unlike Batman, he
had actual super powers (I know a lot of people love that about Batman, but for me it seemed cooler to be objectively superhuman). Most importantly, he was a smart
alec. I dreamed of having the presence of mind to actually say
something witty in high pressure situations. In real life, I think I mostly stared.
Maybe sometimes I got in a good gape. </div>

I can talk about what I like. I like that the Trick-Or-Treater is knocking on a Cubist house's Cubist door. I like that you're not entirely sure in which direction said door will open. Or is it open already? I like that this kid is all alone and there's no sense of frivolity. There are no other kids. There's barely a house. No one is having fun. There are no decorations. <br />
<br />
Is this a kid trick or treating or is it a ghost haunting the front stoop?<br />
<br />
Deep. This one is deep.<br />

Dear Internet,<br />
Let's go a little light on the sci-fi this week. Here's our old childhood friend Ernie. And he is decidedly Bert-colored. I don't know the significance of this...just that it feels somehow significant.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvXY4jZQVZq8lKihHV1OQF_ES1mjLMYEMKH94Enr8WE8EP8yg3owgYUFtz66qkypZCm6j9BKQPFkBlxx4LfjZRxYfSXQaBsvvTkdQarQ3ls24CtQYnr4FgxYcU11GwUXhBeC7NjfwVWsqT/s1600/IMG_4158.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvXY4jZQVZq8lKihHV1OQF_ES1mjLMYEMKH94Enr8WE8EP8yg3owgYUFtz66qkypZCm6j9BKQPFkBlxx4LfjZRxYfSXQaBsvvTkdQarQ3ls24CtQYnr4FgxYcU11GwUXhBeC7NjfwVWsqT/s1600/IMG_4158.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
Here's a creepy thing about Ernie. I only see this now as Adult Me, though the Kid Me captured it pretty well. While Ernie <i>seems</i> like a happy go-lucky fellow -- he has that rubber ducky he sings about, he's always pulling Bert's leg, he's got that infectious laugh, he's a <i>fun guy</i> -- the whole time he's laughing, he has sad, sad eyes. <br />
<br />

Here's another exhibit from the childhood art gallery. Of course I have no memory of this drawing, or what it was really supposed to be. Looking at in now, I can only guess it was some kind of hypnotized space demon. I remember my childhood mostly trauma-free, so I can't explain how this creepy dude came out of my kid brain. Alien visitation? Ghosts? Space ghosts?</div>

Dear Internet,<br />
<br />
Well here we are. 2014. How did this happen?<br />
<br />
<i>Egg 4</i> remains a torpid, uncooperative caterpillar refusing to leave its cocoon. Someday, after much negotiation, it will of course emerge a shivering, shiny butterfly.<br />
<br />
But the show must go on. In the meantime, I give you Art.<br />
<br />
Back home for the holidays, I discovered a trove of my childhood drawings (I use the word "trove," though I hesitate to use the word "treasure." And yet....can you have a trove of anything but treasure? Judge for yourself, I guess).<br />
<br />
It's odd to discover art drawn by your childhood self because there's no memory of making it. It might as well have been created by someone else. And there's something almost thrilling about drawings that are less about "correctness" and more about "awesomeness!"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi64usH3nioBkJAforQx6i5_i2rg1EZTA8vdPo0eky2hA2_qwTwy9gGAvki6n9fv9zxhWm9WNNXumr5dKtveIxOuUqjFUg3EP3E2_Bt0CKRkq7b57Dmz9QGT3EcOiv2B2-kIhO8H6PUTw_S/s1600/IMG_4157.jpg" height="640" width="480" /> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This image is very much inspired by the show <i>The Space Giants</i>
(I had to look this up...I'd forgotten the title) I used to watch back
on Superstation WTBS. I remember the show being pretty thrilling. It featured a
giant metal robot Dad with Heavy Metal hair, a normal sized robotic Mom
who was conspicuously nonmetallic, along with her normal-sized and also
nonmetallic robotic son, Gam. Oh and the Dad turned into a rocket sometimes. Also, they all had antennae, like these guys. Anyway, I was pretty young (this might be from kindergarten or first grade). <br />
<br />
This felt like a good place to start, because A) this drawing is awesome, and B) because Egg owes a lot of its essence to that wide-eyed child's brain absorbing Space Giants, Ultraman, and other old Japanese monster shows.<br />
<br />
I'll try to put up a new kid drawing every week, until there are more Egg updates. </div>

Dear Internet,<br />
<br />
Egg issue 4 is coming. I thought I'd show you some proof. <br />
<br />

This is a panel from page 3 of the new issue, showing our hero Walter, who's a little worn out. <br />
<br />
Still lots of work to do,
but I'm hoping to gather some momentum in the near future. I'm also going to start blogging more often. </div>

What a world of communication we have. I've talked to people about this. I've tweeted about it. I think I facebooked it. I might even have hit up a pager about it. Now, I'm blogging it. <br />
<br />
Anyway, the "this" in question is <a href="http://emanata.co/">emanata</a>. It's a supercool app for the Ipad that let's you read comics. For free. With your finger and your eyeballs. If this is the sort of thing you are interested in, you should check it out. Did I mention you can read Egg #1 for free on this thing? I didn't. Now I did, and you can, and you should.<br />

I'm off to write this down with a quill pen on parchment, jam it in a bottle, and toss it in the frigid Pacific over at Ocean Beach. Just to cover all my communication bases.<br />

Dear Internet,<br />
<br />
Yes it's been awhile. Yes I always start posts in this way. Ok, but this time things are different. There is actual news. There have been developments. What sort of developments? How about the fact that there is a new little dude on the production team, my son Om! <br />

Omi is apparently a very big fan of Egg and Egg-related merchandise and we all applaud his team spirit.<br />

Yes it's taken a long time, but in my defense this new issue features a much more sophisticated look featuring....<span style="font-style: italic;">shades of gray</span>! Yes. Very sexy.<br /><br />Anyway, the issue has just gone off to the printers. Is it bad luck to talk about it this early?

APE is over and I would like to declare it a success. People, many of which I have never met, walked up to our table and purchased Egg #1. With real American dollars.<br /><br />Now what? Egg is available at good ol' www.comixpress.com. Egg is also available at our awesome local comic shop, Isotope. A public thanks (well, semi-public...how many people really read this thing?) to James from Isotope for giving it a shot.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmb1jLEMsYOnIVnAfepLkwipN1XMDzJYiC9ioVs5qvSX-shuNN9_N8XKw0F0g_Qrit8pKM6ytcCq8s4uq3Eix5RiQ7Tw-mQZg1H4RsJUVtQQkz89OwQ-MN1dyoM9fkvQcG7oDHrSvzl8Fm/s1600-h/SharkBoy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmb1jLEMsYOnIVnAfepLkwipN1XMDzJYiC9ioVs5qvSX-shuNN9_N8XKw0F0g_Qrit8pKM6ytcCq8s4uq3Eix5RiQ7Tw-mQZg1H4RsJUVtQQkz89OwQ-MN1dyoM9fkvQcG7oDHrSvzl8Fm/s320/SharkBoy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269446372537621474" border="0" /></a><br />Now on to issue 2.

It's online! Like for reals. Go to www.comixpress.com and you can order a shiny new copy of Egg #1 for your very own. Now I don't know if it's true, but I've heard the more copies you order the more attractive you are. I'm just saying... I mean, do you want to take that chance? Is that responsible?<br /><br />Also, APE begins tomorrow. I'm feeling all sorts of emotions--nervous, excited, nervous excitement...the whole range.<br /><br />There was a mixer thing tonight at the Last Gasp compound. It's a place we'd never been before. It's sort of an office/warehouse/gallery, meaning it's a pretty cool place. We (mysterious plural pronoun) attended earlier this evening.

Finally. It's a little crazy to see a bunch, literally hundreds, of copies of this thing that was previously a pile of papers, pens, and empy coffee cups on the dining room table.<br /><br />But before I get too metaphorical, let's switch to something fun that you can do at home. Take the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Egg Personality Test</span>!<br /><br />It's easy: Take a look at this photo.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYG0V1Pf32wHKHIXALlFA_Ujg56756xQSfCLu5hiOCYoHfO3LImYf_sU298N9BHLvhjgtDqiyuf_vq7a8J74zt5_rrXWwSGKJw4O3rMvXysuPDaIl4HTEzSxJl09lsdFh5G5noAf-94CDo/s1600-h/FirstShipment.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 394px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYG0V1Pf32wHKHIXALlFA_Ujg56756xQSfCLu5hiOCYoHfO3LImYf_sU298N9BHLvhjgtDqiyuf_vq7a8J74zt5_rrXWwSGKJw4O3rMvXysuPDaIl4HTEzSxJl09lsdFh5G5noAf-94CDo/s320/FirstShipment.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260798059344911458" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Now see which of the following statements best summarizes your feelings.<br /><br /><br />A) Wow, Chris, are you serious? That's all you ordered? Shouldn't you have ordered, like, <span style="font-style: italic;">eight times</span> that many? Don't you think you'll sell out in the first two hours of <a href="http://www.comic-con.org/ape/">APE</a>?<br /><br />B) Holy Mike, Chris, that is <span style="font-style: italic;">a lot of comics</span>. Should you have ordered that many? I mean, do you really think you can sell even <span style="font-style: italic;">half</span> of that at <a href="http://www.comic-con.org/ape/">APE</a>?<br /><br />If you answered A, then you are either an optimist, my wife, or are one of my friends being nice to me.<br /><br />If you answered B, then you might be a pessimist, a realist, or a real jerk. <br /><br />As for me, I have no idea. I'll let you know how it goes.chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05771995479516869992noreply@blogger.com0
