Gerard and me at his house in October; photo by Kevin McGovern.

Gerard remains wrapped up with MCR's new record -- finishing recording and doing publicity for it even before a title has been announced -- so we're not yet making progress on the new Umbrella series or Killjoys, although he hopes to start writing comics again any day. We had a great talk the other night. I was shopping for a frame for a painting Scott Morse did of Spider-Man for my son, Sid, when Gerard called. Jon Rivera, the cartoonist who does the Umbrella Myspace page, had emailed Gerard to tell him about an earthquake in a resort area of Brazil. Gabriel was vacationing around the holidays, and Gerard got worried.

I was struggling with the automatic checkout on a Saturday evening while talking on my iPhone, so I had no quick way to check about the Twins and Brazil -- I'm not very good at online research anyway, so I probably would have been equally useless at home in front of my laptop. But I do get good ideas sometimes, so I told Gerard to check Ba and Moon's Twitter feed. Lynz did it while we talked, and she said Fabio had just written "This year is going to be a blast" -- so we decided probably he and his brother were okay. Thank the &%#$in' Lord. 2009 was a rough enough year. Check out the Twins' latest work on Daytrippers, their series at DC Comics, where they're joined by Umbrella colorist Dave Stewart.

Gerard and I spent the rest of the phone call talking about the My Chem record he's working on -- they're going deeper and deeper into an idea, and as much as I wish he was back on the comics, he's got a tiger by the tail. This band thing might really be going somewhere . . .

We also talked about the Umbrella movie, which is proceeding. Gerard's been pretty hands on with the screenplay, which is in great shape now, thanks to our excellent writer, Mark Bomback. We're getting interest from directors, and once someone's hired, this movie's happening.

But soon, very soon, we're gonna start work in earnest on Killjoys. Shaun Simon and Becky Cloonan are ready to roll. And Gabriel is asking questions to start shaping up his schedule for the year. Hopefully I'll have some more news for you next month—

Scott

With him taking on all of this at once, it was only inevitable that he'd have to sacrifice one for the other at some point.

he looks like a college dropout who went to some big keg party and is standing outside 'cause the party inside is lame and he is ~mature/the designated driver

shit wtf how did you get so old gway i swear you're still 12 at heart minus the baby

that's the most dadish picture i've ever seen of him

[555gehenna666.livejournal.com]

lol it's amazing how much geeway manages to look like a dad when his little girl isn't even in the pic. so cute <3

[hazysea.livejournal.com]

omg I thought the same thing xD

[stealenoughtime.livejournal.com]

..... and I was wondering what it reminded me of.... VERY dadish!

pssssst, focus on the legs :D

[vendettaxviolin.livejournal.com]

It's the crossed arms that make him look like that. My dad does the same thing. ^_^ That and the collared shirt/ sweater combo.

Actually, has there ever been a picture where he has his arms crossed? I can't think of one. o_O

[p0mba.livejournal.com]

haha ikr! it looks like he's either freezing or has to pee really bad

[mivsi.livejournal.com]

Sure there have, bb! When I first read your comment I thought you had a point. But then I had to go check; it was like a challenge. I certainly don't have all the pictures of Gerard Way saved, but I did find a few. There weren't many. :)

The last two in particular make me laugh...

or maybe both. jeg dør.

[vendettaxviolin.livejournal.com]

Kay. So really it's the fact that he's in a sweater that makes him seem dad-ish. 'Cause we all know our Gee's usually a little jacket slut. ^__~

And thank you for excepting my non-challenge and proving me half right. ^-^

Exactly! I can only think of one picture with him in a sweater and it's that weird brown one... I definitely think it's the clothes. :D
