hey friends: so this is the thing i'm doing. there's no reason outside of wanting to see friends for me to leave before ryan leaves at the end of may. i figure two more weeks weren't nothin' and if i am going to try this comics thing i am going to try the shit out of it. i was feelin' pretty namby pamby about it, but i am committed to it now. you know why? nice e-mails from you guys, money from you guys, basically you guys. i am not gonna be upset if i give it a try and fail, because that is how things go and i am down with that. but it is not gonna be on account of me not tryin' hard enough. if i get enough pfsc done before i leave (i am hoping to finish this dang storyline that is taking forever, i hope it ain't chasin' anybody away from my comic) i may do some more custom comics, if that's the case i'll announce it here.

if i were tryin' to make real adult money for a house and a pregnant wife and such, i would not dream of doin' this, but basically this is also an excuse for me to live As Simply As Possible which i have been wanting to do for some time, and i am lookin' forward to it.

I will welcome you into Chicago when the time comes. You can sleep on my couches (they are blue). I will also welcome your new merchandise with open arms and shirtless back. To make this reply not from-a-stranger-with-nothing-to-say, I have been enjoying your new story. I wouldn't mind seeing more of Paul who is a ghost, though. Good luck in the rest of your Mexico and coming to Chicago. (Reply to this)

	good for you John! punch that world, it ate all your vanilla ice cream (Reply to this)

wickedgood 2008-05-15 08:11 pm UTC (link)

not you john no you are always so chipper Haha, yes. Also: I seem to recall saying at one time that hawking t-shirts seemed to be a sell-out, but they appear to make people happy (not to mention helping you you know, survive and stuff). So I rescind my previous objection (not that you give a damn). I will be standing on the sidelines and cheering you on as you punch the world in its crummy face. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The more PFSC I can get the better. I would have ordered a custom comic, no aspect of my life is that amusing. Good luck with moving! (Reply to this)

	Sounds good to me John. I could have just said this to you, as we are sitting in the same room, but I kind of like the inanity of communicating this way when I could use mouth sounds. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm afraid I'm super poor, you know, the student artist type working to eat. So I cannot afford any of your glorious shirts. But I love your work and encourage you to keep going at it. Living As Simply As Possible is a beautiful way to live. Good luck! Be and be happy! (Reply to this)

	Oh, you. (Anonymous) 2008-05-16 02:47 am UTC (link)
	You see? This is why I've been stalking you for the last few years even though I do not own a Livejournal account. You are a brilliant non-quitter that deserves chocolate covered crepes (they exist, yes!). In other news, I am buying one of your t-shirts tomorrow when I get paid some monies. I will be stylin' so hard. (Reply to this)

	Good luck, John Campbell. Way I see it, humans have pretty refined survival instincts, and if you think you can do this they're probably giving you the thumbs-up. (Reply to this)
