@ChrisW164, that was how the "Original Sim" in Marvel Fanfare happened. Dave had to buy Deni out, and needed cash immediately. That in turn, turned into the Epic stories.

I noticed the "marriage" part of the contract too. Am I misremembering or was Dave and Deni's divorce the reason he even started looking into working with Marvel or DC on this, just to bring in some extra money? Or am I thinking of the Epic stories or something else?

If you had showed us the Rabbi card, the world would now be a happier place. Unicorns would prance magically on vibrant rainbows across our consciousness. The air would take on an intoxicating tangy aroma of Twinkies and root beer as we all live better, smile easier and treat each other with simple human decency. But you didn't show us the Rabbi card. It's all your fault.

Allen & Ginter is one of the old-timey baseball card brands that Topps owns. (They were originally a tobacco brand that included cards in the packs.) The current iteration is a high-end set, so made from nicer card stock and they have a lot of non-baseball subjects like famous people, places and things, but it's still primarily a baseball set.

Wow. Dave's answers never disappoint. And his commentary on the state of Canada and thoughts on how to fix the addiction / homeless problem there was very thoughtful. Thanks again, Matt and Dave. Greetings from the ROC!

Wtf is this

The figure looks fantastic! 🎉

I wish that I hadn't tossed out my stack of Zipatone back in the early 2000s. It would have been nice to have scanned in the Zipatone that I once had. Oh well.

Dave has always been very supportive. He's one of the nicest guys in comics. #MakeComicsGreatAgain

Thank you, Matt! You're the BESTEST!

Most awesome video. Loved those crossover comic books featuring Cerebus (and not-Cerebus). #MakeComicsGreatAgain

Hey Matt! I kinda like when you break the questions up into sections. I can never sit down in one sitting to listen to the whole darn thing. Also, download and save my portions.

Thank you for this! It's much easier for me to let a long video play for an hour or so than clicking on a bunch of short vids.

Thanks so much for passing those two questions to Dave, Matt. His answers didn't disappoint and I'll never take his time or responses for granted. The best to you, too.

His name was Zach Rabiroff. And on another note, the Ditko Estate (DitkoVerse) will be re-publishing all of the Static issues as well as compiling all of the individual stories into a single volume, along with many other projects.

It has occurred to me how many of my lifelong fashion, architecture and decorating choices have been heavily influenced by some panel in a comic book that the artist probably didn't think about for more than a few moments.

Habaneros😂

I absolutely agree with Dave's explanation of adultery. It would be nice if more comic book creators would support and discuss Godly principles. Thanks, Dave and Matt. #MakeComicsGreatAgain

"She sent me the void!" Great line

need that math/years stuff spelled out in a comicbook story. might be able to grasp it tighter then.

I suppose I can (also) answer some of Dave's questions here. Since college, throughout my work-for-hire comics career, as well as creating my creator-owned comics and graphic novels, I have been inking with a #2 Winsor & Newton series seven sable brush and a Hunt #102 crow quill pen nib. These were the tools that one of my teachers, Will Eisner, recommended us using to ink comics and graphic novels. The ink that I use now, and since a little after I started working in comics, is the Pelikan Tusche A Drawing Ink waterproof black ink. Although, recently, I have found that the Pelikan ink not being as dark, as black, as it has been for decades. Dunno why that is. #MakeComicsGreatAgain

I miss FOLLOWING CEREBUS. It was a wonderful publication. I especially enjoyed the Will Eisner tributes. #MakeComicsGreatAgain

Dave, how many hard-boiled eggs can you eat? Let's see Todd and Erik try that.

Can we run a Kickstarter that prohibits AMOC from ever using the word "Spawn" again?

Cerebus is dead? What!

Repose for the souls of the dead.

I forget my CAN # sometimes.

It was great phone for one of us.

I can't remember the last time I inked. Almost got "inked" by a 'possum once. Was playing a pretty solid dead. Lifted gently up off the ground by the dog. Bowels remained solid. I can't imagine the level of distress needed to coax a 'possum releasing the stinky ink. Thankfully.

Metaphysical experiences = demons

Repose of the souls of the dead.

Haters gonna Hate 🤷🤦

Hahaha! I love you, 8:33 Matt! I've never looked so good in a suit!!!

Where will they be for sale?

God?

After that last I need a hug for some reason.

If I raised chickens I could get eggs for chicken feed.

Artists should draw not teach.

Audacity is free and all you need.

Seen Preview and Kickstarter lately? NSFW wall-to-wall. And that dirty, dirty manga.

Batvark bootleg would be fun.

My brain hurts.

We gotta stop dying until SODAR is done. Let's go you other 95 investors in Dave.

Albatross is absolutely beautiful! Very pleased!

I must be slow. I just sent the check up as quickly as possible.

That illustration of idyll is gorgeous - beautiful work and the model is a stunner - natural beauty

An hi there James

Well said Dave - thanks. And thanks to Matt for putting these episodes together

You got it Dave. I am calling Larry now, and I will get his response. Thank you so much Matt and Dave.
