I'd love to work with Pat, he's amazing, but so far it's not in the cards.
Not sure what Nick is up to, but I'm fairly certain an artist of his caliber is buried in work. Unfortunately, I don't think any of it involves a Ghost.
I wasn't necessarily aiming for a set date, more than just some time in the past. I think it's a mistake to say that one word (such as the slang term 'chickie') automatically plants a date on things. I've been all over the US in the last 20 years and I've found that cities such as Los Angeles, DC, New York etc are often on the cutting edge in terms of style, slang, trends etc, but you can travel to smaller cities and they're often 5-10 years behind the times and more rural areas can seem 10-20 years behind.
Currently, I spend a considerable amount of time in a small town outside of Phoenix, Arizona, where most of the locals don't have internet access (cable TV is the norm for new technology) and if you visit one of the stores on their Main Street, you'd swear it was the 1970s.
Ultimately, the goal with this story, as far as an era was concerned, was to make it obviously not the present, but something that a reader could pick up today, or 10, 15, 20 or more years from now and get the same impression that it was not the same time period as the preceding and following issues.

This is a wild stab but is it ZEU? Don Hudson even? Some random guy you found on the street who knows me?;p
Good thing there's no pressure on me or anything to get this right
