I occasionally have young people contact me asking for a job. They want to draw comic books, usually. When I tell them that I don’t publish comic books and therefore can’t hire them to draw comic books, there seems to be a bit of a disconnect- a moment where their great business plan recedes back to their first principles and falls in on itself. Same issues happen when people contact me to go into a speculative business with them. They don’t call it that, they say, “I have an idea for a children’s book, we should work together to do it!” And I have to explain that everyone I know has an idea for, and sometimes has written, a children’s book. Also, writing and illustrating a children’s book is the easy part- it’s finding an agent to lug the thing around to publishers that’s the hard, time consuming, industry-specific thing.
And that leads us to Peter Enis Wang… who has a great idea or two to pitch to Hubris.
Maybe you can see where his plan is going.
Hubris: “I don’t have problems. You have problems. You have problems with that?”
I’ve offered to work for free for Greg.
He’s so cheap, he expected ME to pay HIM to answer HIS email!!
the MORE IT GOES, the MORE I SEE LOWELL FAMILY TREE WITH HIM!!!!
Hubris says there won’t be another ‘Fest next year. … um … didn’t he say that last year?
I guess there’ll be another ‘Fest next year.
Lowell has big ideas.
Peter has big ideas.
Both are “big” guys in the worst way. Coincidence?
“idea” people… never a “i want to Actually get my hands dirty” person or a “i’m the port-a-potty emptier” person… Always an “idea” person.
i’ve known sooo many “idea” people…
…
let’s just say i’ve known -Too- many of them and leave it there.
Peter Enis Wang
…
I see what you did there. I probably would’ve went with Richard for the middle name.
But it wouldn’t have worked with an initial, now, would it?
Yes, we should all be pleased that Peter didn’t use his initial on his business’s name. It would have led to a great many Dick’s jokes.
Get it?
