you still on that xenicol shit or is it just sustained healthy eating now?
: ...just not wearing the hooded sweatshirt.
: Honestly, while I've still got a ways to go with the weight loss, I
: thought I looked much better on the show tonight than I have in
: previous appearances. I'm down twenty five pounds from the first
: time I was a guest (back in August, for "Jay and Silent Bob").
: Perhaps white isn't my color, but say what you will - I'm feeling good
: enough to crawl out of the mu-mu. And in two month's time? Maybe
: I'll go topless.
: Alright, I'll never go topless. I'm just saying.
: For those who'll kvetch about the fact that we didn't talk about the
: comic enough/at all, what can I say? We ran out of time. There were
: seven bits we were lined up to do, and we got to two, because I can't
: tell a short fucking story (my bad).
: But the way I look at it: the job of any guest (in my opinion) is to be as
: entertaining as possible. That'll likely sell a comic book (or a movie,
: or a TV show, etc.) much better than me droning on about how
: Spidey met the Black Cat to an audience full of people who couldn't
: give a shit less. And I know I'm kinda biased, but I thought I killed on
: the show tonight. I think that's a better commercial for the book then
: me attempting to explain the plot of "The Evil That Men Do."
: Good Lord, why am I trying to explain myself. We'll let the numbers
: tell the story. Let's just wait and see how well the book sells.
: Fact of the matter is, Jay waving the comic around three times (once
: before I came out, once at the end of my segment, and once more at
: the very end of the show) is a better endorsement than me pleading
: the case for comics 'til I'm blue in the face, over the course of a seven
: minute segment.
: Baby steps, man. And a comic book on display in front of six million
: people is a humongous baby step.
: If it makes anyone feel any better, during the break, Jay lamented that
: we didn't get to talk about the comic, and said we'll go more in-depth
: next time I come back on as a panel guest in October/November, to
: promote the OTHER Marvel book I'm going to be doing, which is...
: Like I'm gonna spill the beans this early. Read all about it in Wizard
: next month (or Movie Poop Shoot).
: 275 and feeling alive (albeit still severely overweight).
