Veteran Comic Book Writer Extraordinaire

INTERVIEWS

Ron Fortier has been a professional comic book writer and author for almost fifty years, now.

The comic books he’s worked on are numerous and you’ve definitely heard of some of the super heroes he’s written comics for like The Hulk, Popeye, Rambo, Peter Pan, The Green Hornet and The Terminator are just a few!

He spends a good deal of time now-a-days publishing independent comic books at his Airship27.com publisher site and let us tell you has has many, many books and comics published under his belt!

Ron is no stranger to Comic Cons and we at GoshDarnBlog caught up with him at the Fort Collins Comic Con in August 2022.

We asked Ron 4 questions so if you’re a fan of Stan Lee then you’ll really like Ron Fortier.

GoshDarnBlog asked him about his career and about how to do a Comic Con when you’re a newb.

Read on to find out below!

1. What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned from Comic Cons? What advice do you have for someone who wants to be a vendor at a Comic Con?

“…For the first time, if they are sitting behind the table alright, as a creator, is have fun! Have fun meeting people, being social and talking to ’em okay? Don’t go with the mercenary attitude of “Oooh I gotta sell all my books, oh I gotta make a profit, blah blah blah,” … if you go in with that attitude it’s like I said it’s very mercenary, very cold, and it’s not what this fandom’s about. These people are here because they love Comics. The comics that you’ve written, illustrated or whatever, it’s an opportunity for you to meet with ’em and to share with them, okay, that love and that passion, if they buy something that’s icing on the cake… but trust me okay, even if they can’t the situation is they don’t have any money or whatever and they walk on they’ll remember that conversation they’ll walk away going that was hell of a nice guy and next time if I come back and have some cash I’m stopping over and getting one of his books. And it works all the time. It’s just being honest its liking people and having fun.”

2. When’s your next class at Front Range Community College in Fort Collins?

“We are starting it back up this September, once again It’s going to be an 8 week course at the front range community college alright it’ll be on Wednesday nights from 6 to 8 at night and um basically how to write comic strips and graphic novels.”

3. What’s your comic book series Mr. Jigsaw all about?

“Mr. Jigsaw is a comedy super Hero that myself and Hawaiian artist Gary Kato created almost forty years ago now when we were first breaking into the business and it was basically a series of short stories, 8, 10 page adventures of a character who can break apart like a jigsaw puzzle, alright, he lives in the state of Maine and operates out of the city of Portland Maine he’s a young fella he’s very naïve and he thinks his ability to break apart and then reconnect is some how very cool and so it gets him into all kinds of different problems and situations but the thing is he’s so likeable and has such a close circle of friends that they always come to his aid and in the end the good guy always wins that’s Mr. Jigsaw, Man of a Thousand Parts.”

4. What’s coming up for you?

“I got a new six issue mini series it’s science fiction it’s called beyond the stars we just kickstarted issue #1 and I’m doing it with an Italian artist names Andrea Bermeda that I connected with online he’s a 30 year veteran from working in European comics so that’s the newest thing Ron forty (Fortier) has go on the shelf these days.”

Ever Notice What Goes on in the Café?

September 14, 2022

You can Listen to this blog post over on Medium.

I do

COFFEE

I just sit there with my earphones on, not listening to any music or YouTube vlogs. I’m blogging or poet-ing or prose writing or all of that.

I hear people laughing in a weird way and now I’m comparing the barista’s laugh to some other guy in a booth across the room from me. They should both go out with each other. They have twin laughs.

A boy next to me tells his high school gf, I’ve got a cute picture of you! and she gets out of her chair to join him on his red cushioned booth seat, so she can cuddle with him while looking at the pictures on his phone.

Listen to “Coffee” by “The Slums of Mediocrity” off his album “Play the Swivel.” Watch him on GoshDarnPodcast!

Machine noises happen at the front of the coffee shop when “the grind” is happening or a the steam milk is airing.

Girls making noises with their mouths make very different noises than men would.

“Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah,” says a man I see at the café a lot. I always laugh under my breath when I hear him saying multiple yeahs with his urban accent. Sometimes he goes on a marathon of yeahyeahyeahs like it’s a Guinness World Record.

The smells are all over the place, but mostly it’s one of staleness. The fans are not turned up much and the door is not open, so there are smells lingering around the café.

Clop, clop, purrress, goes the wooden floor as patrons pass by. Will they spill their coffee or tea? Without a saucer underneath they’re bound to, but I did not know about saucers in cafes until I started getting pots of green tea for my table.

The door squeaks open and a chubby bald man with a beard leaves while his smell passes through my nostrils. The door opens again and he comes back inside while I realize I smelled him coming before the door opened. This is a terrible realization and I’m just glad I’m not sitting near a bathroom.

I can smell something sugary and it reminds of those ginger cookies cafes have behind the glass case with little sugar sprinkles on them.

“Yeah, yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah. Rightrightright…”

Lots of conversation sounds spew up into the air and bounce around the wooden board walls and off the wood floor.

There’s even a child’s voice now and it all sounds nothing like a laugh track Very lively now and I’m alone typing what I’m experiencing here.

I’ve been feeling quite alone lately, so much so that I joined Tinder but I would rather talk to people, and smile and look into their eyes because apparently that’s what we are supposed to be doing because otherwise our lives are just meaningless!

I did not come up with the above new age idea on my own. Instead, an old Alan Watts recording uploaded onto a YouTube channel told me.

“Diogenes and Alexander the Great!” says a father to the child I heard earlier.

He’s carrying his son’s plastic sword for him and follows his son to the backdoor admiring this painting above me as he goes out. He’s looking at a painting on the wall and I know the artist who did a rendition of “When Alexander the Great Met Diogenes the Cynic.” He sat with me for a bit and drank his coffee hoping I would by a painting, but I wouldn’t.

Part 3: Tinder is Putting Me on a Bender

HOW TO USE TINDER

I’m like a detective for fake accounts now

Finding fake accounts is so easy.

The scammers don’t know English.

How so, bro?

If a person on Tinder is asking you what you are looking for on this “app” instead of using normal English day to day words, like instead of using the word “date” they say “appointment!” LOL! OMG!

Super Likes Will Be My Super Power

Revision Update! I will not be buying Super Likes.

~~^{_{I will buy some Super}}Likes this week so I can message any pretty face I want to and I will be glad to tell you how they work in another part of this series.~~

What else is going on?

I joined OK Cupid and they have the same system. Apparently all the dating apps are owned by the same company and they want you to keep using the app so they’re all set up like a casino.

How do you win then?

In a casino, if you put a bet on twenty tables, most will lose, but some will win.

I saw a Ray Dalio video on YouTube that explained this phenomenon, but the casinos are betting that most people will lose and a small percentage will win.

We have to play it like that

We spread our bets with those SuperLikes to avoid fake matches and to win a small percentage of real people we will actually get to talk to and date from playing our chips, our coveted, expensive SuperLikes which we buy on top of paying $29.99 a month on Tinder platinum.

Learn to have more options than just Tinder, man!

Yesterday I interacted with really attractive women in real life.

Did I get anywhere?

No, but I am still playing the Casino.

What you want to think about when you talk to women in real life

Some are more sensitive than others, stay away from any trouble.

Nice women exist. Seek and you shall find.

Don’t be upset at getting rejected. Smile at it. Don’t give in to your fears.

Get used to feeling embarrassed, this is really your super power!

Practice makes perfect. Athletic and military mindsets work. IE David Goggins.

It might take a LONG time for you to practice the above and get used to it

Tinder Swindlers Part Two: I’m Matching up with Scammers

They’re called Tinder Swindlers

It’s a drag.

It really is. So much so that I’m listening to Cinderella’s Greatest Hits. (80s Glam Rock).

I’ll be okay though because I’ve learned a lot this past weekend.

Smile all day and all night at the beautiful people

I’ve learned is to smile. You will freak any stranger/girl out if you don’t smile. Creepy happens to me all the time and usually I’m the one that’s creeping.

You can also apply this to sales. I did it all weekend at Foco Comic Con and have cash in my pocket and some dollars in my PayPal.

This website is hot like a fire

I really like Playing Fire.

The PUA guru there is a big stud with a broken nose and he lays it out for me and you on how to send text Tinder messages while he’s living in Miami, Florida.

I believe his stuff works but some tweaking will definitely be involved over the next couple of weeks for me to figure out Tinder and regular texting.

Social media game for everyone

I will probably try what I’ve learned from Playing Fire with Facebook and Instagram. You know what I mean? I’m bored.

It’s a match so I un-match

But these scammers are really good at matching up with me on Tinder and I don’t know what that’s all about.

It’s all about who you know

Have you ever seen someone you know on Twitter?

I have. I might message them anyway.

We’ve gone Platinum an it’s not the die antwoord (the Answer in south African)

I have Tinder Platinum and you get like several “super likes” like 5 and you need more and then you’re going to pay $1.50 per. I could go down to Gold next month and just learn how to send messages that get a reply. YouTube University it is.

Tinder or not to Tinder

Embarrassing myself on the street and saying hi to women all day long is on my agenda and I really get fearful and shy. One guy, James Marshall, has great vids on this. You have to wave at your prey like an idiot, smile and say you look wonderful and introduce yourself. So simple, right? No, it’s hard!

Some resources that I’m going to start checking out this week.

Bored to death so Choose life

I’m so bored in my social life that I have to experiment with everything.

Don’t worry I will keep blogging away, too.

Good luck on your dating journey!

I have a couple more articles on “dating for men.”

Tinder Part One: I got Tinder-ized

September 6, 2022

In one Reddit they talk about how scammers do the Tinder

Listen to this blog post over on Medium.

Disclaimer: This blog post contains third party affiliate links. We get a commission.

Okay, I conversed with some foreign women on Tinder and then found a forum on Reddit about scammers there, and yeah, it sucked to realize I was talking to scammers.

Ya see, the conversation over text pulls you right into the fray and pulls on your love, lust, and heartstrings because the pics the scammers steal and use are damn attractive.

Then the more you message the girl, the more pics “she” (she or he?) will send back to you. Then I turn around and sent some of myself.

That was a bad move

Because they might use my pics to build fake profiles.

The scammer will keep asking you questions so they can learn a lot about you a put it on a fake profile.

Mo! Mo! Affiliate money!

I did not experience this, but they also will send you affiliate links, like Forex or something, so they can make some cash off you.

So how do you know if you are getting scammed?

You can never know. I am still thinking about an intense conversation from this woman who I wanted to plan a date with.

She said she wanted to get to know me better before we went on a date.

So I talked to her a little until I dropped her like a hot potato.

It’s messed up, man! It’s totally messed up!

They say ‘hey’ to you when you’re a match or you ‘like’ them on Tinder and they will talk to you first.

They answer your message, they converse with you, then you say, “Do you have WhatsApp?” And scammers apparently like WhatsApp, a lot, so I’m not going to do WhatsApp anymore!

They don’t know English “good”

She uses words that normal people would not use. IE they don’t know English, well.

They will also get frustrated

One lady sent me too many numbers for her phone number and said it was a Hong Kong number. This lady called me stupid when I could not put her phone number in the WhatsApp.

Area of the Codes

If the number is not local for when you switch to WhatsApp, you know it is suspect.

During working hours they are available online

Well, their job is to scam, which is 24/7.

Should I use Tinder at all, Evan?

Yes. Learn how to use it correctly. There 1001 YouTube videos to watch about how to use it.

The take aways?

But I think the thing you really need to think about is phone numbers that are not local. Like why would they have one that’s not local in your area? Come on. It’s 2022.

Also, if English is their second language, look for cues that they are acting like a nice normal person. One word answers and off topic replies are suspect in my book.
