Yo, khaosworks, wassup?
- Not much, just saying hi. Going to bed now. :) --khaosworks (talk• contribs) 17:05, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
Do you have a source for his middle name? Because this article by Chip Kidd (who I think knows Ware very well), and this later article in The Guardian both give "Christopher." -leigh (φθόγγος) 22:35, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
Chris' Middle Name[edit]
Yup. Chris is my source! He's my brother-in-law. I'm not sure why Chip called him Christopher in the article, because you're absolutely right, they're good friends. It's a common mistake. I assumed he was Christopher when we first met, but he set me straight. In a weird coincidence, his middle name sounds like his wife's maiden name, but it's spelled differently.
Incidentally, thanks for doing such a great job on his Wikipedia entry. I mentioned tweaking it to him, and he checked it out. He said something along the lines of it being the way he'd want his obituary to read.
- "Obituary to read"... that sounds like such a Chris Ware thing to say. I did not know he was your brother-in-law. Extremely cool. I should ask you to hit him up for an autograph - I'm an Acme Novelty Library fan from way back, and I often recommend Jimmy Corrigan to my friends; with the caveat that they don't read it when they're depressed, or at least keep the razor blades away when they do. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:22, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, dude, no autographs. Until Chris gives me a Col. Tom Parkeresque cut of his wages, I'm not his intermediary. He's going on a book tour next month though, so watch for him. Are you in the states now?
- Nah, back in Singapore for the next couple of years, at least. 'sokay, no big deal. :) --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:18, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
