I'm just wondering if you could talk a little bit about the correlation between your sporay into being a comic strip creator and a comic book writer and all that entails and how that shows up, how your journalistic past shows up as a writer. Now, I'm just curious about the connection. If you could indulge me, because it's such an interesting kind of bridge from one career to the other. I would love to learn more about that
So then a couple of years ago, I finally found an artist and we did like the six to eight page comic, which in comics is called an ashcan, kind of like a proof of concept. And we started to try and shop it around and then COVID happened, but we finally found a publisher. We published like four issues with them and I really wasn't a fan. So much of their business model

Can you draw parallels from the comic strip world and its evolution to the video go game world? They seem really married. Am I not getting that right? I would think that they're married because they're fantastical and they take us into a different realm. But because you know so much about the video game world and you're in the comic world, comic strip world, what's the crossover in terms of the user base and also the creative process? I have to ask, I'm so curious
So there's like no literal way that I could answer this question in five minutes, but I'm going to at least try. So the cross section, for me, it's kind of with everything that I do, it's all about story, it's about characters. Like in journalism, despite the fact that it's nonfiction, unless it's from another news outlet, I won't go into any news outlets that may be producing fiction. I'm joking
Hey, man, thanks for sharing this. I love comic books, so I'll definitely check this out. My brother's actually lived in bensonhurst for, like, the last 1015 years, so kind of a small world thing there, although it is Brooklyn. And I love sort of the references to duma that you made. Anytime the Count of monte cristo is brought up as, like, a reference point for something new that I might be getting into, I'm always down for that
So, yeah, there's a couple of pictures I could show you that are directly, like, correlated into the comic book of, like, trash cans on, like, 18th Avenue that were just so filthy and disgusting, and they find their way into conjury and things like that. It's so funny. So yeah, man, thank you so much for listening. And we have this really cool thing on legacy comics.com. It's called the conjury zero. hardcore fan pack
