Description

I'm back, baby!!!

I will start 2024 with a continuation of the theme that I ended 2023 with - a celebration of the incredible goodwill and bonhomie that exists in our community.

I am continually blown away by everyone's generosity. In addition to bookmarks, t-shirts, stickers, and more, I also received THIS incredible, deeply personal, outrageous piece of art, executed by our favorite mastermind - Derek William Crabbe.

Derek and I share a deep fondness for a 2-issue story by Alan Moore that ran in Superman #423 and Action #583. In fact, Derek even invited me onto his podcast last year to discuss the story, and it was a blast.

Receiving this gift as #OAX2024 kicked off set the tone for a truly amazing, memorable event. Thank you, Derek, and congrats to Bill Cox, CEO, and the entire team on an incredible achievement.

He's not funny, when you find a Mxyz off the theme
You take it home, Derek’s gift, bam, from Cox week
It's not funny, when you buy a house with walls for art
And the day you go to see it, it’s all of Bill Cox
It's not funny!
It's not funny!

It's not funny, when you come, to work trades
You have the keys, hold the pages, then wire boss made you wait
It's not funny, makin' money in a comic oasis
And losing every dime, betting on the Ravens
It's not funny!
It's not funny!
It's not funny!

It's not funny, when you have a show and auction comes
And Eranga bring the inks, but he ditch and runs
It's not funny, when you see, these arts you like
And your pocket can only buy a three-speed bike
It's not funny!
It's not funny!

It's not funny, when we got, on the wrong plane
We wanted to go to L.A., but we were headed for rain
It's so funny, when you show up the Fanholes podcaster
You thought you got over, next day your art’s on paper
It's so funny!
It's so funny!
It's so funny!

It's not funny, when you leave your house without an Eranga
Then Jason (hahahahaha) you're an Oreo fella
It's not funny!
It's not funny!
