FIFTEEN MINUTE BREAK May 12, 2003

Well, you can't please everyone.

I keep fogetting that some material that I write could easily offend. In the spirit of Free Comic Book Day, I gave some Deposit Man books out to some employees- one in particular, a new employee. This new employee has written some books of his own, so I thought we could compare notes. Well, this morning, when I clocked in at work I arrived at my desk to see my books returned to me with a note explaining that the material wasn't up to speed with him- which is ok, I realize it isn't for everyone- but I should have told that I do write for a mature audience and I do tackle controversial themes and there was probably something in it that could have offended him or his family. Or, simply it could have been my style of writing. I do admit that I am a wordy bastard and that Larry's lettering is a little off-kilter -which is a problem that I will try to recitify by getting a letter problem like Comic Craft of something.

On the other hand, I did receive a phone call from Oliver Simonsen at work last Friday praising the new book from the photocopies I sent him- I swear the guy is my most loyal fan. Like I said, it isn't for everyone, but you gotta weigh the good with the bad. It's mixed bag- like mixing the detergent with the quart of milk.

Well, more insight tomorrow,

This took less than fifteen minutes,
