Just to say, in 30+ years of doing this stuff, I've come to understand that the work is all that matters, because it's the only thing you can control. You can't control what people think of you, you can't control how popular you are, but the work? That's the thing you have control over. And in the end it'll be all anyone cares about. Love and respect.

This is exactly what I was explaining to Miranda. I really just love making comics. Especially now that I'm making books for kids. I really was remembering a happy time when I was kinda a big deal and happy that now I'm not interested in anything but making stuff. Thanks, Roger. You're a good egg!

You're somebody to me too, and a whole generation of cartoonists who were just starting to feel their way into the comics scene when you were already a Big Deal ♥

You're a VERY BIG somebody to me, Erika. I need to come to Portland soon and visit everyone. Is Helioscope allowing guests again? I miss all of you guys.

I remember meeting you at PAX East a couple times, and picking up the first two Table Titans books. It was nice to have a short chat with you, and with Tavis about Binwin's Minions. I hope to see you in Boston again sometime soon.

Great post, Scott. Like Miranda and others have said, you're still a big deal to lots of us. You have a quick whit which really shines in person or on Ventrilo/Discord.
