On the eighth day of Christmas…
Yes, we were a wee bit late posting this one too, but if these didn’t run late, no one would ever believe they were really coming from me. One year, back in the rollicking eighties, the official Comico Christmas party, hosted by me that year (I think Matt Wagner hosted on the previous year), was held in mid January, well after Christmas, in celebration of my standard timing, vis-à-vis meeting deadlines. True story.
So here we are, on the Eighth Day of Christmas, and as everyone knows, the Eighth Day is for – video blogs, or vlogs, as you crazy kids insist on naming them. I’ve never done a video before. I’ve appeared in them, because comic book related video blogs abound, but I’ve never done one of my own before, including running my own tech (which is an undertaking rife with possibilities of disaster, as any of my friends can attest, as, in a grotesque understatement, I don’t get along well with technology). But let’s give it a shot and see what happens.
Bill Answers Your Questions
It’s as simple as that. In my first ever self-produced video foray, I’m going to take your questions, because that’s what I’ve learned to do on camera. I put the call out for any and all questions, via Twitter and other means. Most of the questions submitted had to do with Fables and other subjects related to the comic business.
Way back in the bone ages though, my fellow Clockwork Storybook writers had an idea on how to inject a little fun back into dull and moribund comic
convention programming and created a panel called, We Solve All Your Problems. During said panel we took questions on anything, from financial woes and romantic relationship difficulties, and anything else, deftly solving each one. Having enjoyed that time, I guess I was hoping a few such questions, unrelated to the comics business, would enter into the mix. And since this thing has to be done in several parts – largely due to the fact that my computer’s video application seems not to have a pause feature – there’s still time to get your more absurd questions in, for one of the later segments.
Now, let’s give this puppy a good kick and see where it goes, shall we?
