Thanks for sharing! I’d never heard So Long Marianne before.

Maybe not the most popular choice, but I’m a sucker for Chris Cornell‘s version of Nothing Compares 2 You.

As an aside, the Revisionist History podcast episode “Hallelujah” talks about Leonard Cohen a bit (among others) and is really interesting. Highly recommended!

I meant a different Chip Zdarsky. Sorry for the confusion.

Hearing you refer to Chip as an “acquaintance of the podcast,” in the Substack narration I l listen to, made me cackle like an insane person while bottle feeding my kid.

I’ve got to say I really really appreciate the multidisciplinary approach to making comics it seems like you use like all the music and art references are really cool. I recently bought and devoured “4 kids walk into a bank” and I subscribe to WTFPFH and I have to ask do you have any other indie books I haven’t found? I have really enjoyed Wildcats and your big two stuff in general but your independent work is so singular there’s nothing else really even like it and I’d love to read more

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. My only other creator owned book is called WE CAN NEVER GO HOME and it came out from Black Mask a few years ago. Any comic shop should be able to order you a copy. Other than that it's all short stories... and new stuff that is coming very soon.

Love your podcast. I enjoy listening to it every week. the level of thought-provoking questions is great that I learn a lot the creators as well as the industry. I won't even bother with Conan's. It has been a while since you have been to Third Eye. I do hope to see you there.

Hope you all had a good Vday!!! Did you send out the books for substack founders from last year? I had moved last year, and wanted to make sure I did not miss them.

Hey Blaze,

They did... not. I've been waiting on a special thing to include that is running months and months late and I may have to just pull the trigger and send them in the next shipment. Sigh. Sorry for the confusion.
