Dave, I think Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks said it best: "I am honored beyond the ability to express myself." I'll hold you to it.
I'll be out of touch in October, while we relocate, but before I go I'll PM you a hotmail address where you can reach me during that time, just in case.
Not to make too big a deal out of it, but, to explain myself, I generally don't mind helping people (that is, people other than large corporations, who are usually my employers) with stuff like this for free (so long as they don't sue me over it if it all goes south). Legal costs are prohibitive for newcomers to creative industries, and act as a disincentive to new talent, either to get proper advice or even to sign a contract if they're suspicious of the terms. So, in helping you out, I'm helping the comics industry as a whole by encouraging new talent. Huzzah! Group hug!
I've done the same thing for small-time actors and musicians in the past. Seems appropriate to do it for an "up and coming" comics writer.
