Bringing me back, I see. Just in time. Oui, we all know that you must be so proud that you know my name correctly. "Second-hand embarrassment", you say.

Honestly, I do not understand it either.

You'd better not put me on the shelf again after this. That's no place for someone such as myself, and you know it.

At least getting your name wrong is better than drawing you completely unrecognizble.

Such things have happened before. /It is the most unfortunate thing./

You've experienced the same?

I have.

Did you see how that Greg Land guy made me look? Or another artist that recently made me look like someone took the scales off Godzilla's back and glued them to my head?

Mon Dieu, I have not. That sounds -- most awful. I cannot imagine!

Yeah. It was bad. [He sighs.] Enough about that though.

I hear you've got something really good happening soon in the comics.

[ That makes him smile. ]

Oui, and I am surprised, to say the least. [ spoilers the build-up is terrible ]

I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. [Terrible indeed.] So, should I expect an invite?

Of course. [ is that a grin!! he is even grinning. he can't even be snarky through his joy, he is just excited. ] I wouldn't dare think not to.

And yourself? [ that, though, takes a little bit of effort. yes jean-paul, conversations are two way streets and they are not all about you. ] You've been well?

Great. [He's grinning too.] I'll be looking forward to it then.

Eh, same old as always. Get just about ignored in favor of the new kids for the most part, get pushed into safe rooms whenever the threat of the week shows up to wreck the school.

Wow, your… typist really did go nuts with those layers.

[ SOBS QUIETLY INTO HER TATER TOTS........ ]

She enjoys them immensely, I'm told.

I'm glad. Well, not me, but… you get the idea.

This whole exercise seems like an unusual one.

You're thanked, she says.

Yeah, maybe we should— talk about something else.

[DOES NOT SUGGEST ANYTHING]

[ LMAO WHAT AN AWKWARD DUDE.

Jean-Paul is just going to squint a little. ]

That would probably be for the best.

[SHUT UP, THIS IS AN AWKWARD PLACE]

So, uh, you're French?

[ SURE IT'S JUST THE PLACE

not

him ]

Non. [ wow is he offended or what.. ]

I am from Québec.

[Shut up!]

Right. I should've recognized the accent.

[Is he oblivious to the OFFENDED or does he just not care?]

[ hopefully he doesn't care because jp always needs to be knocked off of pedestals of douchebaggery ]

You have been? You are familiar.

[ a slight shrug ]

It's been a while. My French is rusty.

[ two-way streets, two-way streets ]

And yourself. You've spoken French -- where are you from?

All over. I was a military brat.

Congrats on the ~~publicity stunt~~ wedding! I hope the supervillain attacks are minimal.

[ ~~lmao right :'|~~ ]

As do I.

And -- thank you, very much. Merci.

[Thanks, Kevin Keller, for showing us that being boycotted by stupid people makes a publisher a fuckton of money! Here's hoping One Million Moms speaks up on this!]

Also, here's hoping no one shows up at your wedding demonically possessed. Or that neither you or the fiance get replaced by a shapeshifting villain in order to kill the other on the honeymoon. Or-... well. You get the point.

Really, you'll probably be better off if the cover's as deceptive as every other cover ever, and you just have a small ceremony at the courthouse.

Which will probably still be blown up because comics.

[ oh. oh they did. hehe and it was a beautiful trainwreck. /just... just shakes head

They even went as far as implying that DC had "caught something" from Marvel and that was why they were both referencing it at the same time. B|... ]

[ That illicits a surprisingly uncharacteristic laugh from him. ]

I would hope so.

Faque, there is a variant cover that depicts a rather unfortunate series of marriages that ended terribly, and I am committed entirely to not doing the same.

It's cute, at least. Just focus on the cute. And try not to die. Again.

Heh. Good luck, Beaubier; that's all I'm sayin'.

I hear you've got some rather good news on the horizon, Jean-Paul.
