Really nicely done. My daughter was in your son's kindergarten class. Did you know there is a comic book writing class in the afterschool program? I bet they would love to have you come in as a guest speaker...!

Clark is a pretty cool name, but we didn't name him after The Thrill, although that would have been cool. And we didn't name him after Sean and Chris either. :) Hey Dave,

I see you dedicated the book to your son, Clark. How'd you pick that name? Were you a Will Clark fan or maybe you named him after someone you knew. ---Dave Hi Trade,

Glad you liked this story. I hope you enjoy The Sky Kayak, and The Captain's Quest as well. The thing with Zip's letters is an idea that I had when I first started drawing this. I thought it'd be pretty cool to have the letters change and spell out stuff, but it proved too hard to do because he's moving around all the time and you can't always see the letter, so I just went with the alphabet on there. I dig it because it's something you could only do with comics. Hi Daniel,

I feel a little light headed now. I noticed that the letters on the Zips' "Big Woolies" kept changing. Is there something to that or are you just trying to confuse me? Hey, that was great!

Make sure to introduce yourself. I did read those Cloak and Dagger issues. I had kind of forgotten about those ones, but they were great. I probably haven't drawn Phoenix since I was in high school, but for you I'll give it a shot. I bet your Andru Spiderman is awesome! He was hands down my favorite Spiderman artist. I loved his work so much. Are the Beatrix Potter illustrations on display there at the library? I'd love to see them. My wife and I visited the Rosenbach Museum a few years ago to see the Lewis Carroll collection but they didn't have any of it out for display. They had a beautiful display of Maurice Sendak work out though. It was incredible. And of course all the books and other items were amazing. That place is a hidden gem. I'll see you in a few weeks.

Would you be doing any quick-sketch? I own a Miller Hulk, a Andru Spiderman, and a Byrne X-men; so I would be very happy to get a Phoenix sketch from you for my collection! (Did you read Leonardi's Cloak and Dagger? I was a big fan!) PS. It may interest to to know that the Library has a collection of original artworks by Beatrix Potter in their rare book section and several illustration paintings by N.C. Wyeth in the basement. A few blocks away, there is the tiny Rosenbach Museum which houses a Lewis Carroll collection. Hi Mr. Loeffler,

I was wondering when someone would bring that one up. Having counting sheep in the room is like taking baths with your brothers and sisters — It's completely acceptable, if not great fun, when you're young but probably not something you'd want to continue with as you get older. And you're right, sisters are honest when it suits them... BRUTALLY honest. :( Ha! I was wondering when someone would bring that one up.

When it suits them, of course. Being busted with sheep in the room is a biggie. No sister would let that pass without comment... Sisters are honest. When it suits them, of course.
