I was an inker for Archie Publications from 2002 until 2010.
I was reminded of a kinda funny story. While working for Archie Comics, for the first few years, the publisher would pay me a Christmas bonus. (Of course, they were not obligated to do so, but it was a nice gesture that I did appreciate.) One year, Archie Comics stopped sending me a Christmas bonus. I thought that was kinda odd. Maybe the check got lost in the mail? I called one of my fellow Archie Comics freelancers, and he did get his Christmas bonus. Again, kinda odd.
I called Archie Comics’ payroll department to find out the skinny. Someone answered the phone. I told the fella who I was. He yelled to someone else in the room: "It's Al Nickerson!" The second person responded loudly: “What does HE want!?!”
I thought that that was funny.
But, yeah, for whatever reason, Archie Comics had decided to stopped mailing me a Christmas bonus for the last several years that I was an inker for the publisher. No big deal, of course. I just thought that their response was funny.
“What does HE want!?!”
Hah!
That’s work-for-hire for ya.

Here's a few panels from the third volume in THE SWORD OF EDEN graphic novel series, THE SWORD OF EDEN: CRY VAMPYRE. (Don't mind the crummy borders. I'll fix those in Photoshop.)
