Because I think I’m far more important than I actually am

On Sunday I completed the design for the business cards I’ll be using at this year’s Comic-Con:

It’s nice and to the point, I think. I’ve ordered 1,000 of them, that being the minimum order for the local company I’m using, and I imagine that realistically I’ll use 100 of them, if that. Still, it’s always nice to have the cards. It makes me feel marginally less unprofessional. Besides, if nothing else I can pop ‘em in as a sort-of “With compliments” card when the first Jump Leads book comes out. Or something.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it elsewhere, but the foreword for the book is going to be written by Kris Straub. There’s a lot of crossover between our fanbase… wait, no, let me rephrase: Jump Leads’ fanbase is made up almost entirely of fans of Starslip Crisis, which isn’t a bad thing. He’s been quite vocal about how much he enjoys Jump Leads, so I’m looking forward to what he’ll wind up writing. Kris is a top bloke, and he’s been remarkably tolorant of my presence on these precious Intertubes. Maybe one day he and Tauhid will finally rise up and trample me into the ground.

    What you’ve done now, you see, is make a public statement that he’s writing your foreword. That means you have to use it, no matter what he says. Do you see how this was foolish yet?

    No, I’m sure he’ll be nice.

    You still need to put BIGAIG on it.

    Hey! I don’t even read Starslip Crisis and I’m in the JL fanbase!

    Okay, so I’m a good friend and I adore the work and I wrote an issue… but NEVERTHELESS, I’m not the majority of your fanbase!

    Er… yeeeeah.

    There’s a book?
