i gave up blogging a week ago on account of I feel demoralized. But this bloke John Campbell, no relation, just made me laff. Go look, as it ends even funnier.

Lovely. Thank you mr. campbell.
...poor kid: i know just how he feels.
Hi Eddie, I'm glad you're back. Get it into yer' skull that you're very much appreciated ya' ninny.
You've made me smile quite a few times this week on the tube, while I've been reading 'After the snooter'. You're one of the artists that I always come back to and help with keeping my own perspective on the world, like the Cartoonist Future.
Just saying, that even now, somewhere 'round the world 'you' are affecting a response.
All my best, Derek
Yeah, don't give up on the blogging please. Like with booze, breaks are good but with destroy you if they go on for too long. By the way, got to page through The Amazing Remarkable Monsieur Leotard at Mocca this year, and it deserves more superlatives. Can't way till they let me buy it. Cheers,
- Brendan
Ed,
Great strip. Think John read your ironic one-pagers...
Thanks pal,
Wayne
God bless John Campbell
I read your PW interview. I'm really surprised publishers reject someone like you. Purely in terms of numbers, you're a success story, right? Previously published on multiple occasions, a movie made from your work, and a consistent presence in the market for the past several years. What're their reasons for rejecting you?
I just read the PW interview, too. Looking forward to read Monsieur Leotard! And wish you lots of encouragement for that Playwright book. You're a great artist!
p.s. Drop by here if you get bored. Might give you a chuckle or two.
Looking forward to when I can get my hands on the Amazing Mr Leotard (also wouldn't mind getting my hands on a copy of the book).
I hope the demoralized feeling gets demoralized and runs away!
Cheers
Matt
P.S. Eddie, Just finished reading The Black Diamond Detective Agency on the train trip home and really enjoyed it. It might not be as good as The Fate Of The Artist (will have to take your word for it until I can get my hands on a copy) but it is still a damn good book.
Wish I had gotten you to sign it when I met you in the store (and that I hadn't sounded like some brain fried idiot)
Cheers
Matt
Are there any plans to do a book tour/signing in Australia?
no plans at present.
Hi Eddie,
I hope your decision to stop blogging is only temporary. In any case, thank you; I greatly admire your work and have immensely enjoyed reading your blog.
Cheers!
Eddie, good to see you back in the ether. Looking forward to seeing you at this year's CCI/San Diego.
Damn, that Guernica in 3D that you spotted is really mind-altering! It's so wrong (Picasso created the Guernica in line, not in 3D sculpted forms!), yet looking at it really causes the mental flashbulbs to pop. Startling, cool, thanks.
Hey, you're under the spotlight again over at Thought Balloonists, thanks to Craig Fischer and me. Don't know if that will cheer you up (yow, maybe just the opposite), but reading your work sure works for me.

I read Leotard last night, courtesy of Gina at First Second, and I can't wait to write about it. :)
eddie,
i had pondered your absence a few days ago, but the walls really came crashing in when i saw this: http://nickpapageorgia.blogspot.com/2008/05/chat-plates.html
If all were right in the greater semiotoerverse it would be you, sir, who were bringing such items to my attention.
consider yourself castimigated.
hi,
I apologize for contacting you on this forum for this particular issue, but I need to ask you for permission to publish some of your images in From Hell for my dissertation.
Please write me at rogerwhitson@gmail.com, so I can have some way of contacting you.
Thanks,
Roger Whitson
Hi Eddie,
Found a copy of Fate of the Artist (at Ace comics) and read it on the way home. It's really good. Really really good.
There is one part in there, where your wife discovers the monument to chaos, and your head is peeking around the door watching, that really made me laugh (Other parts of the comic mad me laugh as well, but that bit sticks in my mind). I am going to show the comic to my wife and say, "see, I'm not that bad..."
Cheers
Matt
