Sometimes with Jon Glapion, too, when he's there, who inked a ton of the Batman run we did together, and he's also a dear friend. And it was great, man. We went out to...

When we started this, we weren't sure how long we could keep it going. We didn't know if you guys would show up.

But the fact that you guys have stuck with us this long, almost four years, and grown it to something so big, it really means everything. I love having this connection...

Our 17 year-old Jack is in the fever of finishing applying to colleges, which is wild. Our 13 year-old is obsessed with what moves the Yankees are going to make now that they lost Juan Soto to the Mets. And our five-year-old Quinn is just making Christmas lists right and left and just had his song fest yesterday, which was basically so cute you could just sort of die from it.Anyway, a couple quick...
