Sandman

[Gulliver]

Neil gave an interview and he said:

I’m definitely now starting to think about 2013, two years from now, is Sandman’s 25th anniversary. And we’re looking at end of 2013, and I’m going, I think writing my first Sandman comic for a decade would be really fun.

I wonder what that means?

[Gulliver]

I heard that Lee might be going to see Neil in a week. I wonder what he will talk about?

[Gulliver]

Lee is going to see Neil again and this time Amanda Palmer will be there too.

I wonder what will happen with Lee and Neil and Amanda all in the same room?

[Nibs]

One more day to go!

[Gulliver]

The big news is that Neil is going to write a Sandman prequel that will come out in 2013!

I am going to have to reread the series before then!

Very exciting!

[lee]

Yeah, Gulliver, you should totally read it again.

Maybe we can read it together like we did for 1602!!

Hooray!!

[Gulliver]

Boy, I can't believe I wrote that the prequel would come out in 2013. Here it is almost 2015 and only half of it has come out. Part 4 is supposed to be out on December 17th.

So far it has been pretty good. My favorite character is a blue girl named Hope that is traveling with Morpheus. Hopefully we will get to meet Morpheus' dad in the next issue.

In a recent goodreads Q&A Neil said:

I think I'm too slow a writer these days to write a monthly comic. Better to just do one off projects...

I wonder why he is a slower writer now. Probably because he is too distracted from online stuff like twitter and tumblr and the Schlopstakovich forums.

Lee saw Neil and got to eat Matzah ball soup - all in the same night. I got to watch along with the live stream. Unfortunately Lee had to sit behind a big afro so I probably had the better view.

Neil talked a lot about pickled peaches and blurbs.

What a night!

[peaches]

Yeah what was up with those pickled peaches in Tulsa?

They sounded too salty!

Yechhh

[Gulliver]

Neil told me on twitter he would be willing to do the Future Library project which is where people write books that we can read in 2114.

I think I will probably start saving pennies for a trip to Oslo to see Neil's ceremony. Maybe Schlop will go too. We could hang in the forest with Neil and that would be pretty cool.

I wonder what 2114 will be like...
