Writing, editing, storytelling, and more from Jim Gibbons
It’s the end of week one and the Ministry of Mustache Growth & Management has been killing it! We’ve raised a total of $4,276 ($2,218 from the Midwest and $1,994 from the Northwest) and gained a few more members, putting Ministry membership at 73! And, of those 73 members, 39 have received donations!
Definitely off to a good start! Continue Reading “MOVEMBER MOUSTACHE PHOTO DIARY 2012: DAY 6 and 7”

If you read comics for long enough and pay attention, you’ll begin to notice that writers and artists love to work tons of references into their work. Subtle references, clever references, inside jokes, bizarre gags and obscure imagery that are often a treat for eagle-eyed and perceptive readers. Sometimes it’s as simple as a song lyric worked into a line of dialogue or a portrait of a writer as an “extra” in a scene, other times it may be as overt as an editor’s head showing up on a pike on a battlefield in front of a conquering army—just ask Philip Simon or Patrick Thorpe, they’ve both been decapitated in comics before! References like these in comic books are the easter eggs that über nerds like me love. I’d be lying if I said that I never hoped my career as an editor would lead to some obscure nod to yours truly.
