CHICAGO: anyone who brings me either a PLAGUE BRINGER or a HIGH ON FIRE from KUMA'S CORNER shall be reimbursed + choice of any 1 of my books #
CHICAGO: cliff chiang, andy macdonald and i are at table M1 and M2 #C2E2 #
oh no! RIP knut the polar bear! #
CHICAGO: nearing a sellout on VIKING softcovers & i've only got 1 each left of the NYC MECH volumes #fairwarning #
kudos to @BaronVonZorcula who stepped up to get @kumassous burgers for me, thwarted only by a 3hr wait at the door. come by for a reward! #
CHICAGO: viking softcover SOLD OUT. a few hardcovers left #
if only it'd occurred to someone to rap over a temple of the dog sample before today i could have felt this sadness so much earlier in life #

"maybe you left it at the dicksucking store." #
in celebration of st. patrick's day i am not leaving my house. in any color. #
a certain artist is such a great inker that their inks confuse even artists into ignoring that the they're not good at almost anything else #
let it be known @GRohac is an expert in all of life's things, but especially the great ones. #
RIP the other alfred from the batman movies no one overrates. #
"It's funnier when you see his eyebrows move" #
vaguely remember a dream last night where i bit my tongue, hard. pain in my tongue all day? way less vague. #
congrats to community getting picked up for season 3. they've been the sleeper hit of NBC thurs &'ve been the most consistent all season. #
wow that was way fainter praise than i intended. community has been innovative and hilarious out of the season 2 gate. well deserved re-up. #
ladies and gentlemen: in very few hours i shall leave to chicago. if you are in chicago, maybe i will see you there. #
to sleep, internet! so i can wake up at 5am. because i hate myself apparently. #

"Sliders are those tiny burgers you can eat without chewing; you just fling them down your gullet like dropping grenades into a foxhole." #
happy birthday to rob perez, my best man & baldest of brooklyners. we've officially lived more years than our whole lives before we met #old #
alright internet, this is the week i get more positive about the comics industry. clap your hands for tinkerbell. #
HOLY SHIT, y'all: wait til you see the style nic klein is using for our JSA story. #SRSLY #
i kinda don't wanna ever post a star wars thing again in my life, but this deserves a look: http://t.co/bQVjUyN #
general discourse on comics has become tired & monotonous. trying to make an effort not to add to all the nothing everyone's saying. #
i just turned down an interview because i honestly didn't think i had anything to say. it felt surprisingly good to do it. #
japan, before and after http://t.co/OWFgMW2 #
and to cheer you up after that, the world's greatest sweater http://t.co/rvym9Ng #
dunno if it should + or – faith in the world that the contra sweater got more retweets than the japan thing, but i love you guys anyway. #
"contra was made by japanese people, so" -@seanovanaman #
accntnt prepared an extension for my disorganized ass w/out me even asking. impressive. now to find an open post office & make the deadline #

trying to watch SNL for the first time in… i have no idea how long. a long time. i am about to fail in my attempt to watch it. #
rest assured, internet. SNL remained terrible and unfunny until the mohawk gag at the close of the show. #
like things that are awesome? look at my future collaborator @jasonlatour's ultra simple but fantastic spider-man http://t.co/79EBPRx" #
seriously, you people with your pearl harbor comments: go stick your head into something terrible. what is wrong with you? #
HEY INTERNET: i will be in chicago this weekend with my secret sweetie/ bffs andy macdonald and @cliffchiang. http://c2e2.com/ table M2 #
it is getting to the point where i can't comment on any person's work in any media because i end up somehow working with that person. #
though burned by the apprentice guys on my credit for @zappos episode, i order tigers on sat, get 'em on mon & zappos are aces in my book #
the main difference between my marvel and DC relationships is that my marvel relationship leads to a lot more drinking #
listen internet if you all buy a zillion copies DC will make @kellysue's 3 supergirl issues into 300 issues. that's just science. #doit #
sakefest is marvel's greatest crossover ever http://t.co/VPnsdO5 #

long time ago i pitched an idea to a publisher. it didn't fly. this week a different publisher pitched almost the same thing back to me. #
sorry, to be clear: it's impossible the folks i'm working w/ now'd know about the pitch. not saying i was ripped off. saying: world's weird. #
also saying: kinda cool to suddenly be channeling an idea that i was sure had died #
sammy hagar the horrible #
SAN DIEGO ROOM ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED. i will not have a table and instead will be drinking all of hollywood's alcohols. #
missing hour, i do not miss you and have not endeavored to regain you. #

pile of books lost in seattle… incl. the amazing @beckyandfrank book i'd bought just minutes before leaving the show. quickest loss ever. #
you should all watch this video on time perspective, but it is dedicated to @TheWinterMen http://t.co/baAgJfw #
on natgeo right no: dunno what this lizard is called, but when it gets approached by a predator it shoots blood out of its eye to repel it #
headed out the door to paris, practicing the little french she knows, kristyn gets frustrated w/ "1", decides she'll only order things in 2s #
it is sad that she'll be gone til thursday, but she made me laugh in the meantime. #
