When in doubt, AMA. I don't have a good idea for a post while I'm waiting for the scanner and printer (supposedly arriving today). So, why not do an AMA post? Exactly.

Ask away, if you care to!

If you had to fight any character from your comics for whatever reason, who do you think you would win against?

Ivan Heilner

Out of all your characters, who do you think is the most like you, and who do you currently love the most out of your characters

TheoOceanIsASoup

Do you read any horror books/movies you would recommend? Hope you are doing well.

Matt Shepherd

What's the 'comics community' like for you / indie comics guys of your era? Do you feel like you (and Sarah to an extent) are kind of an island, or is there a pool of people that you correspond with, connect with, that are kind of your peer group in comics?

Sean Scott

Has, or would, Winky ever been a story inspiration for you?

PinkLilies

If you got to make more episodes for Eltingville Club, were you going to follow the comics or did you have other ideas of things the group could’ve gotten into? :>

Andrew Lueder

How did you and Sarah meet and how is it collaborating artistically as spouses?

Doug

Is there a character from one of your indie/self-pubbed titles who you think would be fun inserted into a current or past Marvel or DC series?

Fred Bitter

Have you ever seen "Ninja: The Violent Sorcerer, " and if so, were you as entertainingly confused as I was?

Greg Bandy

I’m finally getting around to framing my Milk and Cheese Merv Griffin! poster. Just out of curiosity, what color frame would you choose?

Michael 'Jikorijo' Rookard

Yo, Mr. Dorkin! I hope you're not buried in snow and staying warm. Happy Non-Denominational Winter Season to you and your fam! 1. Since today's his 100th birthday (and he's still kicking!), do you have any fond memories of Dick Van Dyke throughout his career? 2. Besides Nerd Inferno coming, do you have anything else you're looking forward to next year? 3. Have you ever seen Caligula (1979)? 4. I believe you've mentioned you wish to move from Staten Island. Do you have an idea as to the place you'd like to move to? 5. Who are your favorite Looney Tune characters and why? 6. Not a question, but a possible idea for a book: The Annotated Eltingville. A book that explains all of the references to comics, film, etc.

Hardy G.!

Why you don’t like Hector?

Michi Yumi

I saw a video this morning about a headcanon someone had about why Jerry's eyes are squinty. Can you give us some insight as to why that was your design choice for Jerry specifically? I think its because he would prefer to do anything else than ask his parents for glasses and he has shit vision. Plus doesn't seem like his mom and pop are around often enough to notice if he needs 'em. The person who made the video said its probably because he's asian on his mom's side but I wanted to know if you had an idea. Hope your holidays are doing well! Hope your printer and scanner come in soon.

Scott Rowland

I was reading Rom recently, and I thought I noticed your name on a couple of letters pages. If I was correct, do you retain any fondness for Rom? Are there other books from the early 80s that you enjoyed? Have you revisited any?

mrsdickey

nothing really specific to ask, but i wanna ask something since youre my favorite author. what's your #1 favorite video game? and how excited are you for nerd inferno's release? i can hardly wait anymore :D ps im enjoying my epilogue bill card art a lot!!! my most favorite purchase ive made 🧡 hope you and sarah are doing well

Randomhappenstancex

I've been watching a ton of schlocky horror on Tubi lately; which is fun but the ads suck. It is cheap, though...do you watch movies wherever, or do ads and such take you right out of it? And if you have any recommendations...

ATeeth4

I dont particularly have a question, im sick with the flu and im leaking mucus everywhere like a freaky snotty blob but im glad you did an ama today! reading all the questions and replies helps as I cough up what must be part of my lung. and since im talking about being ill, whats your go to medicine for when your immune system gets thrown into full throttle?

Phil Dejean

Hi Evan. Im curious what causes are the closest to your heart?

Aura 🖤

Hi Evan, a have some few questions, so, here me are. :] 1. Do you feel comfortable or uncomfortable with some nick names that your fans gave you? (Like grandpa, uncle, abuelito, honestly I started to use “abuelito” just because I find it cute, and here in Mexico it’s pretty normal.) 2. Have you ever traveled to other country?, and right now, would you like to go to other country? 3. How do you feel about the fans of “The Eltingville Club”? (I’m a brat to make the question for this one, sorry, just because that part of your fandom is pretty problematic and I’m curious what do you think, sorry for having a fandom like that.) 4. What was the most interesting/funny history, comic or script that you really enjoyed to make? Sorry for the amount of questions, but I’m curious. I hope that Winky, Sarah and you are doing great, best wishes to all! And ughhh, I can’t wait for the release of Nerd inferno’s. ⭐️

Ami

What wrestling move do you want to be able to casually do to people bugging you?

Dee

I just wanted to tell you how much I love your work! I just recently discovered Beasts of Burden from one of your Instagram posts, it's amazing. I can't wait until Nerd Inferno comes out! I recently was reading old Milk and Cheese comics because it had been so long since I had read them, and I was laughing so hard I was crying, thank you for that; as I've aged, my humor has become more dry and I have a hard time laughing at anything anymore. I guess I've become an old fuddy-duddy (as I shake my fist at the sky that movies and shows aren't funny like they used to be). My dad would have loved M&C,;I wish I could have shared them with him before he passed. What was it like getting an Eisner Award? You totally deserved it!

The Balloon Animal

Any interest in checking out the Bill & Ted actors in WAITING FOR GODOT?

Roger H.

Any chance you'll be able to share that Neal Adams story?

DantesFire

Hi. I know I'm days late to ask a question but I'm sorta desperate. As they say in the movies, "Help me, Obi-Wa Kenobi. You're my only hope." Even with the ai help you get everywhere these days, I still can't find this horror movie. There was a movie advertised I think in 1982, I'm almost sure because the commercial played for weeks during Three's Company and at some time it replaced or was replaced by a movie commercial for "If You Could See What I Hear." I lived in Brooklyn so I figure you probably got the same programs and commercials. The commercial starts with the voice over saying, "(main character) is turning 18." They show an old woman sitting in a chair, looking scared. "His mother stopped talking. His father started drinking" They show a screaming old man fighting in a bar and other patrons holding him down. Then there's scenes of the main character chasing girls on a beach at night next to a bonfire. And that's all I can remember. Hope you can help. But if you're too busy and don't know the answer, put it on the back burner til the next AMA. Thanks.

Hi! I don't know if you've been asked this question before, but I'm interested in getting into the comic book industry. What is your story like within this?

Charlie

How much money would you have to be given to have the eltingville club on Fortnite

Charlie

this isn't really a question, but something me and my friends have always wanted to tell you! Before thanksgiving break we all decided to make an Eltingville Club themed Campaign for D&D where we rival against them in our own club called the Eltingville Society :) We meet every Monday for it and its the funnest I've ever had!!!

Andie

I’m curious to know how Bill and Jane’s relationship is or with his brother from the comic. Do they have moments where they bond or can they all not stand each other?

Andie

UGH SORRY TO DELETE MY LAST QUESTION anyway im curious about what’s going on with bills eyes in epilogue, where josh confronts him for being greedo318 and like one of bills (pupils? Eye?) is looking in a completely different direction and the other is normal idk if this was intentional or not I find it so silly(in a positive way)

Big Engine Gordon

Hi Evan! I've just joined your Patreon and I've learned a lot of cool struff from your career. I'd like to know if there were any comics you had that never got off the ground.

Evan Dorkin

Yeah, everyone has projects that don't get made, for various reasons. I had a metal men series I was writing canceled at DC, I was almost two scripts in before a new editor-in-chief came in and axed it. I pitched a superhero series called Bastard Squad to DHC, but they weren't interested in it. I pitched a Fight-Man 2099 10-page backup story to Marvel and the editor was up for it but I never found the time before the 2099 line collapsed. There's a lot of Milk & Cheese and Dork notes in my files that will never become finished comics. I worry about finishing up whatever loose ends I have at the moment, I hope to finish the main Beasts of Burden story, continue Blackwood and maybe do a hectic Planet story or something someday before I kick off. I also want to do a memoir about growing up as a nerd in the 70s/80s, but I don't know if I'll ever get all that completed. I'm not able to draw as much or as often as I used to, it's become a problem and I haven't been making comics for a while now.

Andie

Ok I’m sorry for 3 questions but does the Eltingville club stink? A lot of people think they do. I always figured they probably just smell like sweaty shitty deodorant bit of like to know if it’s true or not.

Charlie

Apologies if someone has asked this, but what exactly inspired you to write the Intervention with Bill? I’ve seen that many of the stories were based on your own personal life, and I’ve always been curious as to what inspired you

Charlie

I feel like I’ve used this post thousands of times, sorry about that LMAOO Are there any songs that remind you of Milk & Cheese? I’m building a playlist!!
