A conversation with a friend...

Me: "You know, a couple thousand people came back for the second strip on Gossamer Commons, yesterday. We lost a chunk from the first day. I need to get advertising or something."

Him: "You... had a couple thousand people come back for day two?"

Me: "Yeah."

Him: "Do you have any idea how long it took me to get two thousand people to read my comic strip?"

Me: "Um..."

Him: "I'm stopping talking to you now. And you're buying me a drink if we ever meet face to face."

Me: "I didn't--"

Him: "Fucker."

Perspective's a fine fine thing. And I'm the luckiest man on the face of the Earth. You know, for the record.
