Meanwhile in Comic Books: This is sort of curious, found this on my lunch break-- according to the Beat and Bleeding Cool, it sounds like pretty much the entirety of comics just simultaneously fired a guy(s)...? (And also, there's someone in comics who calls themselves Suspiria?? You can do that? My comics handle is "Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon" now for all future projects). Everyone is releasing nearly identically worded statements-- that's a lot of people!

I guess it has something to do with commissions (?), which are a pretty big deal. (I'm not a businessman so the way I understand the overall comics market is that the books are designed to be objet d'arts for collectors, but that the comic art is a promotional campaign for the commission markets, and that them having stories is a way for the publishers to underpay for ideas for movie/game studios, and that "Creator owned" is marketing slang, like "organic" or "elevated horror". Or as comic people call it, "the ninth art".) But yeah, my vague understanding is that commissions are a big big deal, sort of the third leg of the tripod, which is also how your mom refers to parts of my body. People really seem to depend on that income, I think more than most fans even realize-- pretty troubling.

Like, I'd be wildly guessing, maybe I'm 1000% wrong, but in my head, the way I'm imagining what happened here is that episode of The Bear where a computer accidentally floods Mister Bear with 10,000 orders for a nasty-meat sandwich at one time and Mister Bear is like "argh! me emotional disorders!" Except instead of sandwiches, it's 10,000 emails from guys wanting drawings of the Scarlet Witch's armpit (classic costume only), and instead of The Bear, it's Paul Azaceta's fax machine. (And also emotional disorders, still that). That's just a super-wild guess.

It could be someone did crime, though, one of the bad ones. But I don't know-- historically, it's taken a lot to get fired in comics, is the thing. (I have multiple names I'm thinking of, at least). Something sure sounds like it got goofed up. Or it's just wild that you can have a job like "stand inbetween comic book drawing-person and Scarlet Witch-loving pervert, with your hand out to both of them" and goof that up?? I'm not saying that's an "easy" job because I don't have the knowledge to say that. But I will say sometimes my job feels like that part in a videogame where your character has poison damage and you watch him go "argh! me emotional disorders!" over and over while his life bar ticks down, and ... "drawing middle-man" sounds slightly better than what I'm used to experiencing. But someone goofed that up, anyways. There's probably a story there...

I started watching Reacher but Amazon started me on season 2, and I don't know why. There's probably a story there, too. A story about a man named Reacher. That story's probably way, way better.

I’ve seen that you posted about Vanity & Billy idol, what was they relationship like ?

They met at the screening for a film she was starring in, Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon, and Billy said she was one of the most beautiful women he’d ever seen; and fell for her instantly! He also said “Vanity’s beauty could force you to stretch the truth to live in a dream world where all was possible.” She attended a few of his shows on his tour and he was very excited about her, but the relationship was clandestine and short-lived due to drugs and the fact that he was also with someone else!

first post

When Eddie’s department assigns him to a History of Detroit class, he’s pretty sure that Sam is more excited about it than even he is. They’re sitting in Eddie’s office just a few minutes after his department head gave him the news, and already, Sam is bouncing off the walls. He’d be obnoxious if he wasn’t so wonderful.

“I say you make the class all about Berry Gordy,” Sam says. “Call it ‘Tamla to The Last Dragon.’ I know that’s not exactly alliterative, since we don’t count the and all that, but it also makes for some good consonance in the middle there. Tam-la. The Last Dragon. It works.”

Eddie leans back in his desk chair and laughs.

“Tempting as that is, I think there’s plenty more I have to talk about,” he says. “A certain riot that took place when you were four months old, for example.”

“You were barely two,” Sam says. “Just because you study history doesn’t mean you’re ancient.”

“Sometimes, I’m pretty sure it does.”

“Yeah, I’ll bet.”

Sam paces the floor again. Eddie can’t hear his thoughts or anything, but he knows Sam well enough by now to guess what he must be doing. Whenever he paces, he writes a whole future in his head. Usually, it’s a musical he’ll never produce or a novella he’ll never write. But it’s always brilliant. Eddie sits back a little further and watches the brilliance twist around in Sam’s pretty brown eyes. He’d be annoying if he wasn’t so handsome.

“I’ll be your guest speaker,” Sam says.

Eddie chuckles.

“You?” he asks. “Why you?”

“Because you like me. And because I’ve lived in Detroit my whole life.”

“You’ve lived in the suburbs.”

“The shitty suburbs. We were practically neighbors, and we didn’t even know it. Come on. Who better to talk to some college kids about this city than me?”

“Well, me, apparently. I’m teaching the class.”

“That’s only because you’re getting the Ph.D.”

“You could’ve done that, too, you know.”

Sam gets very quiet, and for a second, Eddie almost wishes he hadn’t said anything. Even though Sam swears his lack of bachelor’s degree was a choice (one born from freedom, art, and frustration with the backward values the U.S. puts on people’s education), sometimes Eddie thinks he wishes he was already a tenured professor, too. He’d be good at it. Sam Doyle is the smartest person Eddie has ever known, and he’s absolutely including himself in the equation. When he shared that with Sam a little while back, he just laughed and said, “I like that you consider yourself among the people you know. It’s very Socratic of you.”

Eddie thinks that might have been the moment he knew he’d never been in love before (and that now, he was in love with Sam).

“Well, I could help you out in other ways,” Sam says. “I know a lot of professors make flyers for their classes. Stick ‘em up everywhere so that people find out about ‘em. I could help you make flyers. And I could put them up when I’ve got time. I could do the first post!”

Eddie smiles. He stands up from his chair, grabs both of Sam’s hands in his own, and kisses him right there, in the middle of the office. Sam blushes, like he’s still not used to it, like he’s still harboring a crush from across the room at Linda DeLuca’s family reunion party.

He is adorable. No caveats.

“Tell you what,” Eddie says. “You can watch me make the syllabus. And if anything goes wrong, or if there’s anything you think is missing ��”

“I’ll be super annoying about letting you know.”

“There we go.”

But Sam is never annoying. Even when he’s enthusiastic and running around a very small room with dreams bigger than his body, he is never annoying. He’s … he’s the kind of person everyone should meet. He’s the kind of person everyone deserves a chance to love, even just for an hour.

Thank God Eddie will have more time than that.
