The part that I loved the most (and I love all of it) is the paragraph that starts, "There are a handful of people in my life that I owe so much to. People who came into my life at exactly the right time and helped me achieve the next level of success with my work and career." The public acknowledgement and gratitude for those who were there for us and ended transforming our lives is so universal and powerful. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy this post a lot!
The fact that you used hockey tape to bind the book is absolutely incredible!! It's my version of duct tape since I've always got a roll laying around!! Another great post, thanks for sharing!!!
p.s. I've now entered the stage of the season where I stupidly think the Leafs might have a chance. I'll check back in around the All-Star break lol.
Loved this, gonna have to re-read Essex County (again!). Super interesting to see how these small moments of meeting a particular person, discovering specific work, etc. can really butterfly into huge changes.
I'm curious if being a writer/artist was always the plan, because it seems all the more personal stuff you draw yourself (Essex County, Sweet Tooth, etc), and the books that maybe are superheroes or genre others draw to your writing (Descender, Gideon Falls, etc). Is this a conscious decision?

I still treasure the time I met both you and Matt at the DINK expo in Denver in 2018.

This was so great to read Jeff! I feel like I’m in between your lost dogs stage and making Essex stage. It’s so great to know I’m not alone :)
Stick taps, Jeff. Stick taps.
