ON THIS DAY
(Well technically it’s still THIS DAY on the west coast) Douglas Wolk is celebrating a birthday.
A few years back I had just started podcasting with the Funnybook Babylon crew and started posting silly recaps of DC’s Countdown to Final Crisis on our blog. I wasn’t doing it for any reason other than to blow off some steam after reading a truly horrible comic, but people seemed to like them, including Douglas. Here was an honest to goodness writer saying nice things about something I did!
Since then I’ve actually been paid to write by some people. I did a pretty terrible job of writing in 2011, though I’m hoping to turn that around. Some of the opportunities I’ve had — like writing for Savage Critics, something else I need to turn around in 2012 — have come thanks to Douglas’s support. So thanks! And Happy Birthday.
