The Green-Eyed Monster

I'm jealous.

Specifically, I'm jealous of Kurt Busiek. Because his website is so much cooler than mine.

I'm referring mostly (but not entirely) to the graphics. That's the thing about working in comics, especially when you've done it for a long time -- you have all these artists and letterers and designers you can call on to help out with your projects. In book publishing there are cover artists and book designers, but as a general thing I don't have any direct contacts with them, certainly not to the point I could ask them to help out with my website.

Then there's Kurt's Notes, which seem much more entertaining than my own blog posts. Again, they've got better visuals, but... oh, I dunno. It just seems as if I have less to say that anyone would care about, and I can't find the time to say much of it anyway.

And Kurt gets to work with characters everyone knows, like Superman and Spider-Man.

Ah, well. I know perfectly well that my own life is highly enviable, but whenever I look at busiek.com...
