Kirkman

O Kirkman para além de ser um excelente argumentista, passa-se de vez em quando.
Na Convenção de BD em San Diego o sr. Kirkman deciciu fazer algumas questões ao "Mestre" McFarlane.
Aqui fica a descrição:
(retirada da Newsarama)
From the crowd, he identified himself as a fan who was wondering if McFarlane had any ideas for new comics. McFarlane (who evidently had never met Kirkman and did not recognize him) mainly danced around the question, equating it to if you create a character like Mickey Mouse, that would be enough for him and he wouldn't worry about creating Donald Duck or Goofy.
After this, one of McFarlane’s fellow TMP panelists identified Kirkman, telling McFarlane he wrote "that Walking Dead comic you like." Kirkman continued by saying he didn't buy toys, and just liked McFarlane's comics, and didn't want to put him on the spot, but since comics were what got him famous and he has time to work with the toys, why can't he put out a new comic? McFarlane explained to him that it's difficult for him to maintain the proper pace drawing and doing his other duties. Kirkman - still not satisfied - bluntly asked him "Do you want to do a book with me?"
McFarlane eventually relented, and told Kirkman to talk with editor Brian Holguin about ideas and, adding, "You convince him, he convinces me - you and me. And I'll give you some free toys." He then joked, "And thanks for making money for Image," to which Kirkman sarcastically replied "Someone has to." This ended the panel, and the two were seen shaking hands, with Kirkman saying that he'll "come back next year if he has to."
