I’ve Already Broken My Resolutions — But How About a TINY TITANS and MINI MARVELS Team-Up?
FRANCO’S FREE-FOR-ALL-FRIDAYS! By FRANCO Last week, I did a pretty bold thing: I made a list of New Year’s resolutions. Since making that list I have read that most resolutions fail before the month of January is even over! It doesn’t help when on Jan. 2 I go around making the joke, “It’s been a whole year since I read a comic book.” Or drawn any new artwork. Even worse when I wake up Jan. 1 and announce to the household that it’s been an entire year and I haven’t eaten anything but still haven’t lost any weight! But here we are, a week into the new year and I’ve already broken a few of the resolutions I’ve made — beyond the 13 I made last week. Broken: — My resolution to not say “thwip” every time I tap my credit card to pay. — Not Google myself but was impressed that I broke this one at 12:02, right after I watched Dick Clark not be at his annual New Year’s ball drop again, and hoped that someone other than Ryan Seacrest would be there… like maybe Dick Clark because they still use his name. — Using Star Trek phrases in everyday conversations, like “Dammit, I’m a doctor, not a sommelier!” when my wife asked me to open the champagne on New Year’s Eve. And New Year’s Day. And the dinner we had for friends on Jan. 3. — Get into manga (again). I realized halfway through the book that the reason it wasn’t making any sense was because I was reading it backwards. — Get a new Marvel and DC crossover event happening with Mini Marvels and Tiny Titans by trying to convince artist Chris Giarrusso to draw random pages with me and go to comic shops around the country and insert them into issues of the upcoming Superman/Spider-Man crossover. He said it was too much driving and that he couldn’t possibly drive and draw at the same time. The good thing about failing so miserably is that I gave myself an out: a grace period where if I actually break any resolutions, Imma try again, starting… now!
