You know you're looking at a true master of the comic arts when even a casual process video tells two stories at once. It's all about the thematic resonance, man!

[@imranmat102]

Hey Chip! Aspiring comic artist here, thankyou for your comics, i live on another side of the world, anyhow, THANKYOU!!

[@legomen8022]

This man just made the most entertaining room/setup tour ever. So much lore

[@BFT-to6by]

Noticed the totally-not-a-bribe-from-Kodansha Akira boxset, and wanted to tell you how much I love the Mangasplaining podcast. Thanks to you, Deb, David, and Chris, I've now spent hundreds of dollars on manga that may otherwise have been spent buying Public Domain. Oh well!

[@bes03c]

I love Public Domain. It is my favorite currently running series

[@JoeLovesComics]

Fascinating insight, and still manages to have a "story" behind it, always entertaining.

[@zacharyjenkins1763]

Great insight to the process Chip. Quick Q from a loyal watcher, how can I get my wife to support me leaving my lucrative sales job to draw erotic Batman comics professionally? I really think with a few art lessons I could make it to the big leagues but she's afraid that I don't know how to draw and that we have children. Any advice?

[@RealChipZdarsky]

tell your kids to get jobs

[@PeteReborn]

Have you thought about using Kickstarter? They sell all sorts of things and I'm sure they would love to sell whatever it is that you're currently selling at your lucrative sales job! With your job outsourced, you can finally spend your days drawing pictures of Batman being a Power Bottom.

This is really cool. I love behind the scenes stuff. Total process nerd.

[@willieko]

Hope things at home get better. Remember, forgiveness is a journey!

[@Tancread99]

Chip commercials best commercials. Love these.

[@DanielleBaum]

chip are you ok?

[@owensreviews625]

So cool. I love hearing about insight into the creative process into books and Public Domain has been one of the best books on the shelf’s.

[@Hydrus96]

[@NerdettesNewsStand]

Love your work, great video

[@ILSCman]

Love love love public domain! Also will quid pro quo for a doodled script (wink) slide into my DMs silver fox. (Not a crazy person just joking around, except about public domain that shit rocks)

[@pinoyinahalf]

Fellow tough guy over here. Where'd you get that particular shield? Hoorah

[@RealChipZdarsky]

don't remember! it as a last minute purchase for paintball ha ha

[@rgb]

Hey I have the same model Cintiq! :) I just read Public Domain volume 1 on Hoopla and i really liked it. One of the rare "happy" endings where I'm super ready for the story to continue. When can we expect volume 2?

[@EamonDaly]

what software are you using for forgiveness i am just starting out and can't afford adobe

[@RealChipZdarsky]

i shouldn't be telling you this but you can torrent forgiveness

[@reubencanningfinkel5922]

hey! you are a cool writer! givin' me ideas!

[@veinsofman]

Spied an original Archie page (from the 70s?), very cool.

[@fracture4047]

Damn bro, you alright?

[@thequicksloth60]

How can I get a copy of” public domain “?

[@RealChipZdarsky]

Comic shops! imagecomics.com/comics/releases/public-domain-1 And the collection will be out in 2023

[@Xenard]

To make comics I need jackets. Got it.

[@zion_elznic6138]

i guess the comics didnt mean enough to janice, cool process tho

[@James-ip7zk]

Why you don’t use clipstudio for coloring and lettering?

[@RealChipZdarsky]

I was trained in photoshop and illustrator so I'm REALLY fast in those programs

[@mattceccotti]

how many Cintiqs do you own?!

[@RealChipZdarsky]

one! the other one is my buddy's and it's better than mine :(

[@sharkydelnorte]

Bottle of pee in the closet so you know when urine the closet.

[@shoontz]
