In Response To: Glad to have found this board! (Jumbletron)

: Greetings! Let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan,
: and try to follow your work as closely as possible. In
: my opinion, there are few creators out there with such
: a remarkable grasp of expressive and empathetic
: graphic storytelling, as has been produced by and
: around your influence. And in conjunction with that,
: it is done with a sensible integrety which honors your
: trade and heightens that of the industry in general.
: Personally, I have loved your work since I first was
: introduced to it; and always will -through whatever
: route it manifests.

I really appreciate this. That is a really kind way to put things. Thanks a lot for following my work.

: In my own artistic musings (I consider myself an
: innitiate -with the potential for greatness!)

We have something in common. I feel like I have just begun as well. I'm in my "kindergarten" phase as an artist (I guess colleg was pre-school).

I seem
: to hit upon different phases, some being times of high
: inspiration, others being dry spots. When I'm
: formulating a piece, however, I find that if the
: momentum is going my way, I have to run with it before
: I hit that inevitable snag, or my intent won't be
: fully recognized. I think my best stuff comes in that
: moment right before hitting the wall, so to speak.

: Anyhow, my favorite segment out of the Wake Up storyline
: (with "Ha ha ha! You are a funny little man,
: aren't you?" being a close second) is the no
: words page, from issue 16. Where Ben and company sit
: in awkward silence at the dinner table, and their
: expressions say it all. I must have stared in
: fascination at that page for half an hour!

When I turned the book in, that was my favorite page as well.

I'm totally
: hip to the pacing of this story,

Glad you are on to this. it is not a "plot" oriented story. A lot more "character" oriented.

and can't wait to be
: able to read it all at once! It's almost as difficult
: as waiting for Scarab #8!

Ah! The all at once read and the suspensful wait.
It's funny that you mentione both of these. Because I love
both formats. I love having the entire story in on book to re-read at my leisure and put on my shelf(or going back to re-read each seperate issue). And yet I still love the suspense and pacing of wondering what will happen in the next issues of a comic. I sort of have a nostalgia about that. Both ways have my appreciations. I love to read things both ways but to have the collections to read and re-read and give to friends.
