12/12/04:
(See related strip here. This is Beanman, as I draw him. Jimmy loved this strip, and talked about doing a real "cross over" of our two strips. I vaguely remember the idea ... something about Vincent trying to order a cup of coffee. Jimmy was a fun collaborator. He'd tell me what he thought (He flatly rejected a Beanman strip I did once, saying that the customer looked too much like a crazed witch) but at the same time he was willing to let me contribute. A couple of times edited his dialogue (for brevity, if you can believe that I'd be concerned about brevity!) and I was worried he'd get pissed. Instead he'd laugh and say something like "yeah, I thought I put in too many words.")
(Jimmy was one of the few people I really clicked with out here. We had similar tastes and senses of humor. I looked forward to future collaborations, and to be completely honest, thought I had found a life-long writing partner. His death is still unreal.)
