"Evan, I got your back. I fucking HATE Village Comix. Even more than
Forbidden Planet. I don't know how you feel about St. Mark's, but I think
Mitch (for all his creepy behavior) runs a good shop. If Village pulls some
shit, I'll score us some ski masks and baseball bats and we'll go to town."

Some of you may remember the flap over my Comics Journal interview. It's a long, stupid story. Maybe I'll post some of the funnier/stupider exchanges about the subject. I just wish I had a recording of the conversation with the owner of Village Comics, where he conceded that I might have not been lying but he still wanted me to suffer some sort of consequences because I was mean and he was mad or something like that. There was talk of a lawsuit against me and The Comics Journal. Absolutely unreal. 

The snippet above was solidarity from a fellow cartoonist. The 90's was a lot of fun, it's a shame I was so fucked up anxious about everything. I miss being part of an cartooning community. 

Back soon, deadline looming on a project that I'm drawing verrrry slow so I don't eff up the inks. Has to be very clean. Hope I can tell you about this nifty project soon. 

Cheerio! Apple Jack! Fruity Pebble!

Shit Mittens! As someone who worked at St. Mark's Comics (and briefly at VC, only for a few weeks -- it was a low point!) I can get behind the sentiment up top.

All I have to say is I wish you had seen Tem-Dee in south NJ. They had EVERYTHING, but it was staffed by a literal Jabba the Hut who sat at the cash register all day and nickle-and-dimed you to death. But they had everything.

I remember you mentioning Manhattan Comics in that interview; the owner was not pleased with your assessment of his business (despite it being spot on).

Mandy Gavenda

I had a many screaming matches with Jabba. That fucking guy. I hope he’s rotting amongst his collections.

Looks like it's gone. I wish I knew how it went out,

St Marks is gone, shut down a few years ago. No great loss. It was a poor statement on the industry that so many people considered St Marks a good shop, at least in comparison to the majority of Manhattan nightmare holes of the day like Village and Manhattan, et al. And, yeah, it was a notorious place to get creeped on, and hired to be creeped on.
