Steve...write a goddamn book or blog on the following topics:
Why you left comics Why work for hire sucks Why Alan Moore got pissed off Why the 1963 annual didn't come off Why Tundra was a mix of highs and lows Why DC blows
Then tell everyone that these screeds are the final words on the various subjects. Don't go to forums and rehash the same damn things.
Everyone can then move on.
Notice I didn't ask you to address my previous topic of why you prefer movies with actors getting maggots blown into their faces over seeing nekkid female breasts. That can be one of your new topics.
It must be in that Catholic upbringing that you want to continue punishing yourself.
I love it all: comics, movies, media, writing, music, art. Welcome to my musings on the creative life, life and teaching at the Center for Cartoon Studies, movies and DVDs and politics and contemporary events, spiced with the occasional eye-popping art and curious photos. Myrant is just that: MYrant!
About Me
Name: Stephen Bissette
Location: Mountains of Madness, Vermont, US
I'm a Native Vermonter who drew and wrote from a tender age and loved dinosaurs and monsters, none of which I've ever outgrown. I graduated in 1978 as a member of the first-ever class at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon & Graphic Art, Inc., entered the comics profession and carved out a career until my retirement from the field in 1999. I made (and left) my mark with SWAMP THING, TABOO, '1963,' and TYRANT, among others. As a writer, I've written for a variety of zines (including VIDEO WATCHDOG, DEEP RED, FANGORIA, etc.) and books (THE MONSTER BOOK: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, UNDERGROUND USA, etc.) amid occasional bouts of fiction (the Stoker Award winning novella ALIENS: TRIBES, short stories). My current pet project is GREEN MT CINEMA, dedicated to VT and New England films and filmmakers. I write constantly, draw occasionally, and now teach at the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Jct., VT. I live with my wife Marjory, whom I love -- and I sure love my son Daniel and my daughter Maia, too.

Ah, Tim, I sang Happy Birthday to Roger this morning, though -- well, not TO him, but, you know, in my head.
Mike & Mark: Thanks, amigos!
