My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Till then!
It's super hard to schedule podcast conversations with everyone you want to talk with when they have an active thing to promote.
Rick's Kickstarter is killing it, but will be many month over when I next get back to the mic with guests.
Perhaps, one day. Till then, support his immense talent!

Usha Vance didn’t like her husband suggesting she needed to be fixed. She made him sleep on the couch but for some reason that didn’t work.

22 pages. This was an “inventory” Superman story by @keithchampagne.bsky.social and inked by Dan Green.
DC was poised to run it, but the legal department stopped them owing to the story’s use of some Shuster/Siegel material, which was just then in litigation.
Dan’s inked pgs vanished unfortunately
Rick, I was looking over the bonuses in your Kickstarter double feature, and wanted to know, what's the page count of "Joe Cleveland"?

Mahalo, Amy!
Wasn’t sure this day would ever come!
Thanks to @neerajnmenon.bsky.social for the colors, @droog811.bsky.social for the letters, Louise Simonson for the editing help, and @keithchampagne.bsky.social and New Pain Productions for the big push!
And good grief the backers!! Thank you!!!
Aloha Rick! Congratulations on your Kickstarter campaign funded on day 1! Can't wait to see this FINALLY printed!

It’s not a comic without words in balloons (with some exceptional exceptions), and @droog811.bsky.social Pat Brosseau made Blue Angel talk! Thank you, buddy!
I lettered this for Rick earlier in the year and i thoroughly enjoyed it! Fantastic and original story with incredible art and coloring—back it now because it’s worth it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/new...
