This is just a short comic about my... er... meeting with Steve Ditko. With Cameos by Dean and Fiffe!

Enjoy!

I am not shitting you either... This is EXACTLY how it happened!
Overall it was pretty funny if anything and it's still cool to say I met him at all. I knew it was over when he came to the door with his shirt half unbuttoned... But... what else was I gonna say at that point?
I know Fiffe looks kind of.. jolly, but I left it cause it's pretty hilarious.
A few things that didn't make the cut:
when I was standing at the window, some trendy hipster type dudes were talking about going to a party as they left the room next door.
I knocked once and waited, then I thought I heard rustling paper, so I knocked again after a few minutes...
Too bad me and Ditko couldn't be buddies... Maybe if he knew my name was STEVE too...
My dad suggested I try again next year, see if he remembers me, maybe I'll get a few more words, if only "Why do you keep coming here?"

Enjoy!

Maybe next time you should go with more of a purpose than saying "hi". Give him your comics, ask questions, mention Ayn Rand, I dunno... Who knows what he was in the middle of?
I like your renditions of Dean and I. We all look like we're on Death Row!

This is the best comic I've seen you do.
Stop fooling around with that alien-meteorite-noir stuff and do more of this.
Can we reprint this at the Deep Six blog?

I'm not entirely sure I approve of people hassling the old guy, but that's a helluva way to mark your birthday. More importantly I like your comic about it.

Dogs.
Leland's desk is Fiffe's preferred board when I'm using mine.

The best thing about this is that it inspired you to do a finished page of comics.
Happy birthday. Way to take some risks. Now, get busy livin'!
