He asks me what &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marvel_Method\">Marvel Method<\/a>&#8221; was so I told him. We talked about different ways of writing stories. It was fun. Bar talk. Then I asked him how the work was going. He said it was a little tough with his day job taking up all his time. I said yeah. He said I wanna be like you and get a paycheck from drawing. Who? You. Me?

I ordered another round.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/comicscomicsmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/andycapp.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/comicscomicsmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/andycapp.jpg?resize=300%2C245\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"245\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4734\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I went to the bar the other night.
