I pre-ordered the book a coupla months ago--if I had the money, I’d order eleventy-seven more. Thank you for this story. Opened my heart so wide! If I could go to Baltimore, I’d be the little old lady in line who’d give your cheek a gentle pinch and tell you what a good kid you are.

Wow, Darrin! You have had quite the journey. I wish I had been at the Walnut Creek library when you were there as I only live 15 minutes away in Martinez. Learning about your background and sharing your videos (Conan was a crack-up!) was a revelation for me. Totally enjoyed everything and want to thank you for sharing your humor and your politics with us here. Ordering the book!

Between this that and lots of other things, I may have to think about moving back to the greater Baltimore area, snow flakes be damned.

I love reading your stories behind the strips and your new book. Thanks for sharing, Darrin!

Will San Diego be on your book tour, perchance?

wonderful tale, Darrin, wonderful as all you do always is...

as both a writer and cartoonist (i'm resurrecting a comic i drew in high school, will be online w/it soon) i appreciate your stories of your path and your process; how masterly you weave them...

wishing you great success w/The Talk, i'm sure it will be deservedly huge!

wish i could afford it, but no club shows currently booked, only busking...
