J9 and poster

-Turns out CB bought the cookies, but apparently he meant them for the whole office (Me, Brevoort, Brennan and Jeanine). Brevoort chose to eat them all himself. What a pal!

-E-mailed Karl Kesel with good news.

-A couple weeks back Karl inked a very special MARVEL APES variant I’m thrilled to see.

-Freelancers treat you like you have a terminal disease when you say you aren’t going to the San Diego con.

“Awww…,” they say patronizingly, “…Well, not going is cool, too. You can have fun watching Brevoort eat your cookies.”

“Hmm...,” they think, “he must be on his way out if they won’t send him to a con.” Then they start being nice to my assistant just in case…

-Couple more check problems to clear up. I hate check problems. My first and foremost responsibility is to make sure people get paid and I hate it when it goes wrong, even if it’s a postal issue we couldn’t avoid. This will take a few minutes.

-Red light is blinking on phone. Sorry, whoever called.

-Finished another rate form. Eric grabs it from printer for me.

-Two pages of inks from that upcoming MS. MARVEL SPECIAL come in. They look good. Nice thin lines. My weak point as an editor…besides “everything,” ya wiseacres…is inking. I know when it works, but can’t always put my finger on “why” when it doesn’t. Janson wrote a good book about it that I’ve read twice.

-Brevoort checks messages on speakerphone and responds to voicemail lady as if she will hear him.

-The same lady that does Marvel’s voice mailboxes did DC’s voicemail too. Who are you, sexy-voiced lady?!?!?!

-New colorist keeps calling me “William” in e-mails, so I just start calling him Carlo to see if he corrects me. If he’s thinking I’m Rosemann, I’m quitting.

-Office is really cool considering how hot it is. Air condition has been fixed in the last year and now it’s delightful. It used to be so hot in this windowless Xanadu that Molly Lazer used to track the heat on a chart. See attached.

-I got your new Marvel Heroes Hot Spot, right here!

-The FTP is full. Drat.

-I tell Brev that the cookies were meant for everyone. He doesn't believe me. This is not a joke. He stands firm and mule-ish.

-Off to fill water bottle and make sure some checks get sent.

It was Clint Eastwood on the phone. He wants you to star in his movie alongside Angelina Jolie.
