Satellite Subtweeting

Creator owned comics are hard, especially drawing them. Artists need to eat, so sometimes they need to take paid work. It's happens.

What's worse is seeing people publicly throw their collaborators under the bus.

Furthermore, if I saw a writer unprofessionally smear an artist's reputation; that is a writer I would NEVER work with. #ProTip

— Declan Shalvey (@declanshalvey) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey I saw that earlier. Not sure what's gained from any of that except outing themselves as someone not worth working with.

@xtop @declanshalvey not trustworthy.

— Jamie McKelvie (@McKelvie) December 17, 2016

@McKelvie @declanshalvey I like that it was followed up with "dear editors, normally I never do this." Uh huh.

@declanshalvey What'd I miss??

— Joey Esposito (@joeyesposito) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey welp, nevermind. found it. super lame.

— Joey Esposito (@joeyesposito) December 17, 2016

@joeyesposito what happened?

— Randy Z Ochoa (@rzochoa) December 17, 2016

@rzochoa a writer airing grievances in public about an artist for being late, could've been better handled

— Joey Esposito (@joeyesposito) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey @RachaelAtWork That person may have been paid to make comics, but he is NOT a professional.

— Mike Norton (@themikenorton) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey plz dm me who it was.

— ryan stegman (@RyanStegman) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey Even at my low level things go wrong on books. But to ever talk publicly in that way about a collaborator is way out of line.

— Sam Read (@bronzetrex) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey it happens

— William Simpson (@williamwhiz1) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey oof – bad show!

— Dee Cunniffe (@deezoid) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey Shameful stuff. Should never happen.

— Zac Thompson (@ZacBeThompson) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey If I ever had a dispute with a creator, Twitter wouldn't be a place to air that. If you're not professional, you're not a Pro

— Caspar Wijngaard (@Casparnova) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey we'd settle it in the ThunderDome…

— Caspar Wijngaard (@Casparnova) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey 1thing im learning ata lower lvl is keep in touch, a better offer? mention it there maybe bruising but plans can be updated

— Paul Moore (@PMoore121) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey I've had some guy approach me, bash every artist he's worked with and then ask me to work with him. Some people are clueless

— Edgar Vega (@EdgarUVM) December 17, 2016

@EdgarUVM Yeah, you kinda wish you could record them and play the tape back to them and say "Why WOULD I work with you?"

— Declan Shalvey (@declanshalvey) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey That's a writer I don't particularly want to support… no idea who it is in this case though

— Grant (@theyseemebrimpn) December 17, 2016

@bronzetrex @declanshalvey I feel like I've missed a news story somewhere here.

— Mister Ron (@theronster) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey I've seen this sort of thing being mentioned all day but I haven't got a chuffin' clue what's going on.

— Tresson (@ChrisTresson) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey this random comic book fan needs to know! Come on guys!

— Joshua Sklarin (@J_Sklars) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey Nevermind, I know now. I think he's in a bad place… He was DMing me the other night funnily enough.

— Tresson (@ChrisTresson) December 17, 2016

@declanshalvey I'd never throw you under the bus, bb. I'd throw MYSELF under a hundred buses for you.

— Ed Brisson (@edbrisson) December 17, 2016

@edbrisson Baby, you say ALL the right things.
