GETTING READY TO MOVE, DUMPING OLD SKINS AND COMICS, July 6, 2006"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Being finished with the Dr. DeBunko book, I was anxious to jump back into the Doris Danger sixteen books as well.<span>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This is the way I write Doris Danger stories.<span>  <\/span>I don\u2019t think about them, and I do other things.<span>  <\/span>I\u2019ll just be going through my day, driving somewhere, sitting at work, watching tv, reading a book, going for a walk, running errands, or whatever, and I\u2019ll get a weird idea in my head, that makes me laugh, or hopefully at least smile.<span>  <\/span>Then I jot that idea down on a scrap of paper, or in a notebook if I\u2019ve got one with me.<span>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The other way I write Doris Danger stories, is I read any old Stan Lee-Jack Kirby comic, and I laugh at some of their plot-lines or artwork, and usually that inspires me with cornball ideas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">And last of all, if I read through any of my old Doris Danger stories, I leave so many holes and untapped, uncompleted ideas, that browsing through will remind me how many other things I can have happen, or expand upon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">But all these ideas, I just jot on pieces of paper.<span>  <\/span>So I\u2019ve got stacks of these unused ideas, just waiting to be thrown together.<span>  <\/span>Since all the Doris Danger stories are disjointed and usually pretty brief, I know that when it comes time, I\u2019ll lump a series of these completely unrelated ideas together, and that\u2019s all I do for my actual \u201cscripting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I read through some old plots I\u2019d jotted down, and picked the one that made me laugh the hardest.<span>  <\/span>If I find something that really tickles me, I\u2019ll read it to Elizabeth, but she never thinks it\u2019s as funny as I find it.<span>  <\/span>I don\u2019t care.<span>  <\/span>I decided long ago to write to my audience, and pretty much as far as I can tell based on my sales numbers, my audience is just me.<span>  <\/span>So I\u2019ve got to please that audience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">We\u2019re moving next week.  We&#8217;re just in a two-bedroom apartment, and with a baby one the way, we&#8217;re just going to need more room.  So I got this wild hair to go through my comics collection yet again, and see if there\u2019s anything I can\u2019t dump.<span>  <\/span>I tend to do this every few years, because the rooms get too full of comics.<span>  <\/span>My biggest, most embarrassing dump was when I first got married.<span>  <\/span>Twenty-two long boxes out the door.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The reason I say wild hair this time around is that I just started yanking all kinds of stuff out of my collection and putting it in the dump pile.<span>  <\/span>I\u2019m realizing, I\u2019ll never read any of this again.<span>  <\/span>And that has become my criteria.<span>  <\/span>Even if I enjoyed it the first time.<span>  <\/span>Even if I really liked the art.<span>  <\/span>If I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll read it, or even look at it again, dump it. <span> <\/span>Dump it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">If I wasn\u2019t sure, I would open it up and flip through and read it.<span>  <\/span>And what I found is that, even if I thought the art was really good, I often still didn\u2019t have any interest in keeping a lot of it.<span>  <\/span>I didn\u2019t really get rid of much older stuff.<span>  <\/span>It was a lot of newer books.<span>  <\/span>A lot of them were popular books too.<span>  <\/span>But I just am not interested any more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I would read them, and the style of writing would get on my nerves.<span>  <\/span>Everything is so cute and clever and in-fashion.<span>  <\/span>It\u2019s about cell phones and reality tv and everything that\u2019s \u201cin\u201d right now, and it all felt like a big gimmick to be \u201cpopular\u201d and \u201ccool,\u201d and I realized, I don\u2019t want to be \u201cpopular\u201d and \u201ccool,\u201d I just want to tell the goddamn stories I want to tell.<span>  <\/span>And obviously this is a sign I\u2019m getting old, because I can\u2019t stand anything that\u2019s \u201ccool\u201d any more.<span>  <\/span>It\u2019s a bad sign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It\u2019s like when you realize you don\u2019t know what movies are cool, or what music is cool anymore.<span>  <\/span>And you just start watching all the old movies, or listening to all the old music you liked when you were younger.<span>  <\/span>Bad sign.<span>  <\/span>Bad sign.<span>  <\/span>I\u2019m getting old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">And worse, all the artists seem so talented.<span>  <\/span>I can\u2019t draw like that.<span>  <\/span>It\u2019s humiliating.<span>  <\/span>They\u2019re so good.<span>  <\/span>Their line work is so amazing.<span>  <\/span>Right now, clean-lined photo-realism is in, and even if that\u2019s what I attempt, I just can\u2019t quite accomplish it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I finally began admitting to myself this week, I don\u2019t really want to do superhero comics.<span>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I never really realized it before.<span>  <\/span>I always assumed I\u2019d wind up there eventually, and it\u2019s just what I\u2019d do.<span>  <\/span>But now I\u2019m resigned.<span>  <\/span>It\u2019s not what I do.<span>  <\/span>I don\u2019t have any desire to do it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It\u2019s a big step for me.<span>  <\/span>Because of course, superhero books are pretty much the only place people can make a paycheck in the industry.<span>  <\/span>The page rates are simply better, and the work is steadier.<span>  <\/span>Most successful people in the industry, even if they begin with indie books, wind up on superhero titles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">And I assumed this would happen to me.<span>  <\/span>I assumed the big companies would eventually see my work and say, this guy is the guy for us.<span>  <\/span>He should work for us.<span>  <\/span>But here we are, two years into my publishing career, and no one is asking yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">And meanwhile, I\u2019m reading a couple superhero books here and there, and thinking, sure I liked this stuff when I was in sixth grade.<span>  <\/span>I found it really intellectual and realistic, but honestly, I\u2019ve gotten older now.<span>  <\/span>I still appreciate it.<span>  <\/span>I still have those emotional and psychological bonds to it.<span>  <\/span>But I\u2019m just not such interested in it anymore.<span>  <\/span>It isn\u2019t a reality that \u201cworks\u201d for me.<span>  <\/span>I\u2019ve been writing about mad scientists and private detectives.<span>  <\/span>Or if I write about fantastic giant monsters, I\u2019m parodying it.<span>  <\/span>I have trouble imagining I could take a superhero format seriously if I were doing it.<span>  <\/span>And besides, I\u2019m enjoying what I\u2019m doing, NOT doing superheroes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So all that forced me to realize, I don\u2019t really want to do superheroes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So on the one hand I feel really alienated, and like, I can\u2019t fit in and I don\u2019t want to.<span>  <\/span>I don\u2019t belong in this medium.<span>  <\/span>But on the other hand, I realize, I have a day job, and I can afford to just do whatever project I feel like, on my own terms.<span>  <\/span>I don\u2019t really want to get work-for-hire and weird random projects.<span>  <\/span>I don\u2019t want to fill in for other artists and get put on who-knows-what books.<span>  <\/span>I just want to do the stories I want to do, and I\u2019m doing that.<span>  <\/span>I\u2019m choosing my stories, and making up my own characters.<span>  <\/span>I can continue to put out regular comics, or I could make more mini-comics, or start doing web comics, and try to not lose a thousand bucks every issue I put out.<span>  <\/span>Even if financially my career continues to lose me money every time I release something, I can afford to do that.<span>  <\/span>I can afford to do what I want creatively.<span>  <\/span>So, really, I\u2019m very lucky.<span>  <\/span>I\u2019m living the American dream.<span>  <\/span>I have no creative limits or overseers to keep me tied back.<span>  <\/span>What am I complaining about?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being finished with the Dr. DeBunko book, I was anxious to
