But the place where Seth really talks about all this isn't in interviews - it's in his fictional work #clydefanspic.twitter.com/XAQqNMHFj6

By the time I talked to Seth for my autobio piece, Palookaville had gone in a new direction. In fact, CLYDE FANS begins with Palookaville #10 - the first issue after the autobio issues that comprise It’s a Good Life if You Don’t Weaken #clydefans
This quote is important

A very good point in a (largely terrible) roundtable at TCJ described CLYDE FANS as a "fossil record." (I believe this was Charles Hatfield.) So that's one way in which we can think of it as an autobiographical record #clydefanspic.twitter.com/nSIjyywQt2

(This is a good point, and let me say: I think my point will be more clear by the end of the thread.) https://twitter.com/DrPaulHebert/status/1154202779478454273 …

Another way that we can think of CLYDE FANS as an autobiographical record is how, in reading it, perhaps we brush up against the boundaries of Seth's imagination #clydefanshttps://twitter.com/shallowbrigade/status/1120953453273022464 …
Kim O'Connor added,
The reason I suggested reading that @dominocomics piece for tonight is there are 3 things he describes so well - and they're all points I never, ever see discussed #clydefans

#1 is Seth's narcissism, which is sort of off the charts. Below is just one example from the column. There are many others, including his design projects and poster work (which Austin pokes fun of on here from time to time)pic.twitter.com/gu6X9w209D
#2 is critics' totally inflated discussion of Seth's work. Jeet Heer comparing Seth to William Blake (lol) is what you get when your idea of intellectualism is taking three random things and playing six degrees of Kevin Bacon #clydefanspic.twitter.com/xUKhiRxhsn
Um, when did I compare Seth to Blake? Please provide a direct quote (rather than rely on someone else's writing).
Jeet, I'm really tired of you vanity searching your way into my mentions to condescend to me
I'm really tired of you making factual mistakes.
Jeet I've got a lot of respect for what you've done for comics, so this is sad to see. Attribution errors happen even in published works with an editor. And Kim retweeted Austin's (much more constructive) correction.
