Yeah, it hasn't fully settled into my mind yet that this is the new normal.

congrats on 20 years! And also congrats on making that leap. Frankly, i've wondered as i've watched your fortunes soar with the success of your Conan titles - and all that - how you've managed both a teaching career and... well... all that. And being back in the class teaching (at York) as of last week, i'm acutely aware of the pressures and duties of teaching. My son and i have been loving your work (from Skullkickers to D&D and now, of course, Conan, and stories of your D&D exploits) for some time. So rock on!

Congrats! If you do get the itch to teach, your cohort Scott Snyder writes comics, has a newsletter, AND teaches classes that are available via the paid subscription of his newsletter.

Yeah, like I said in my newsletter above, I've been juggling two full-time careers for 20 years, I'm not in a rush to pile on those responsibilities immediately again. I'm glad that's working for Scott and thrilled for his success.

Congrats! A big shift I'm sure, but more creative time for you is a win for everyone.

Congrats on this exciting new chapter Jim!

Lots of industry news this week - I hope Titan is not too affected by the Diamond distributor news - we need our Conan fix!

Hoping there will be more news on that front soon.

Congratulations! Nice to see that it worked out for you in a smooth fashion.

Excited to see what you'll be able to do with a full-time focus in one direction.
