Tooting My Own Horn
January 11th, 2007
I hope everyone had a chance to check out this week’s Welcome to Tranquility #2 by Gail Simone and Neil Googe. First, it’s a great comic. Second, within this issue lies another example of my contribution to the fine art of comic book dialogue. If you’ve read the comic, then I’m sure you’ll have no trouble pinpointing which character had a slight dialogue assist from me.
But if you haven’t read the issue (yet), here’s a little hint:
And while I’m tooting my own horn, and since I failed to mention this when the comic actually came out, I’m also proud to have provided a little assistance (and two jokes) to the “swallowed-by-Giganta” scene in The All-New Atom #4.
Medicine and comics. Comics and medicine. Two great tastes that go great together…

You are my secret weapon, mister. I can’t thank you ENOUGH. And ’slight dialogue assist?’ More like WROTE that whole scene!
I’ma name a serial killer after you!

Hey Scott,
I’m a dentist (not so cool as a MD, I know) but I really enjoy the fact that you are pointing this mistakes. It was never my intention to be a MD, but I’m always reading and trying to learn as much as I can about other areas in health care.
Also I’m a comic book reader since childhood. You can understand why Polite Dissent is on my favorites list.
I’ve discovered your site through Wikipedia, when I was looking for medical coments on “House”. Who would say that the same site also discuss medicine in comic books?
Thank you for all the information put here. It is always good to learn.

I’m basically so excited that I wish I could run over to Politetown, bunch you in the arm, and buy you a beer. V. v. cool.

“I’ma name a serial killer after you!”
Just make sure he bleeds from the nose. And uses a cannula…

Fabulous. I will check out Welcome to Tranquility.
When I was reading All-New Atom (which I really enjoy, by the way), I actually thought about Polite Dissent when the joke about the chewing gum came up — now I know why!

Congratulations Scott! And the Giganta scene was awesome.
