11:37 PM me: this is the input of a lot of people
colleagues, friends
people who are doing great things in their respective fields
people I trust
11:38 PM you need to lost that comic strip
BushwickBK.com: back up
I'm behind you
I was just showing you this stupid fucking comment
addressing me like he knows me
me: word
where?
BushwickBK.com: as for the comic, I'm trying it out
me: right
11:39 PM BushwickBK.com: where what
me: American Dad started poorly and we all deemed it a disaster
BushwickBK.com: haha
this is true
me: but then it turned out to be pretty damned good
11:40 PM BushwickBK.com: well
me: so perhaps this comic will get much better
BushwickBK.com: this is about boring artist crap, so it might never get any more entertaining
me: but I'm really looking at it right now and I'm thinking you can arrange for something better
11:41 PM again, excuse my pushiness
BushwickBK.com: fortunately, it's not zero-sum
me: just want you to know of the word on the street
BushwickBK.com: no i need the feedback
me: what you mean re: zero sum?
BushwickBK.com: so far, peopel aren't very amused
I mean I can have concurrent comics
11:43 PM me: I'm going to try to get my friend John Ruiz to do a comic
11:44 PM BushwickBK.com: yeah I have another lead too
I'd like to have several relevant ones
me: I'll write one with Straub here and have Ruiz illustrate it and send you a sample
11:45 PM BushwickBK.com: you're a renaissance man
11:50 PM me: NO U
11:51 PM BushwickBK.com: osum
12:05 AM me: uh, one more thing
and this makes me sound like a bossy douchebag
but it will help him
Diego needs to change a line in his bio
12:06 AM as it's phrased in such a way as makes it seem that he's not good with the mechanics of writing
which he really is
12:07 AM the following line
"He has worked at Discover Magazine, Star-Ledger in Newark, NJ, gothamgazette.com in the financial district and the Hartford Courant."
12:09 AM BushwickBK.com: I'm in crunch time at work but please go ahead
12:24 AM BushwickBK.com: ok
well, Diego actually is somewhat awkward with wording sometimes
12:25 AM me: ought to be changed to "His work has appeared in Discover Magazine, the Star-Ledger (Newark), the Hartford Courant, and gothamgazette.com.
BushwickBK.com: he has a penchant for clueless use of cliche
me: Sorry, had that there in the text box but passed out sort of
at any rate, it needs a little tweaking
just that sentence
obviously this is now read by a lot of editors
12:26 AM BushwickBK.com: well he didn't write for discover, I think
me: and that one line just looks kind of noobish
ah
BushwickBK.com: was an intern or some crap
me: I see
BushwickBK.com: well I'll send him the suggestion
me: very well
BushwickBK.com: that he shoudl clarify that
me: I know it seems little but those thinks are important
12:28 AM just make it sure it doesn't say worked for x "in the financial district."
nighty night night night
BushwickBK.com: nite!
