sandwiches
o you want to have a look over here?

Over the threshold and behind the curtain, back to where we puree thought, inspiration, pain, anger, fear, sweat, loneliness, terror, ego, primary colors and childhood dreams into serial entertainment every thirty days?

Not editors. Editors wear suits and ties and eat bean soup and talk about adjectives. Mechanics. Comic Book Mechanics, elbows-up in the grease and the slime of storytelling, forcing the engine to turn over, making it all run, getting it to the starting line—never mind the finish line. Twenty titles a month, twelve months a year.

Stream of consciousness. No proofreading, no time for second thoughts. Fast. Disposable. Just bits of art and script and lettering and coloring. Maybe some staples, if we can get the technical glitches worked out. Whatever’s at hand. Whatever presents itself.

Five days a week, Monday through Friday, so long as I’m in the office. It won’t be clean. It won’t be fun. It mostly won’t be coherent.

Do you want to have a look over here?

“Cause if you do, I should warn you: you’ll never look at the world of comics quite the same way again.

Uh-huh
This is how cult leaders get their followers to go out and kill people.

Too bad there's no productive use for fanatics. :D

fun
He should have someone film him walking around town in that thing. I bet it would be a lot of fun to see people's reactions. Well, until he walked into a bank. That'd still be fun to watch, but probably not much fun for him to go through.

on the merits of bank fun
Oh, I don't know. If it's real iron, it'd be pretty tricky to deal with by the average security guard. And the lawsuit would make him more than any amount he could walk away with.

First of all, what did you make that out of?
Second of all, how long did it take?
