Well, sort of. I mean, I jazzed it up a little. But it's sort of true. Kind of.

Haa haa. You know the Ramones will kill any ear worm, right.

Yesterday i had the song “urgent” by foreigner stuck in my head all day because i heard someone say (sorry in advance) the words “poop urgency” and my brain replaced the “urgent” part with “urges” and the “emergency” part with “poop urgency”. That ship didnt right itself til we went to the grocery store and I heard the song “come on eileen”. Totally unrelated question for you: i was reading the interview you did in TCJ yesterday, and you mentioned a plan to do comics based on your experiences in school. If I missed those, where did they appear, and if you havent made them do you still plan to do that?

Specifically TCJ 214 from 1999 in case you did other interviews with them

I never got around to doing those comics ("9 Schools" was the tentative title). 2000 was a busy year, World's Funnest and the Eltingville pilot were in play and by the time I was back to my own stuff the market had collapsed for the small press solo anthology comic. The idea was never viable, and still isn't, as far as the Direct market goes. The idea might be folded into the childhood memoir I'd like to work on, if I can find a way to do it that doesn't murder us financially. I'm thinking I might have to look into seeing if there'd be any interest from a traditional publisher. I can't finance it on my own, comics publishers pay lousy advances for GNs, it's too much work for a KS because of the number of pages and all. It's a back burner project for the time being, all I do is make notes and file them if an idea or memory hits me. I'm not betting on this one, but it's something I would like to do. The Soda Thief comic and parts of Dork 7 were kind of dry runs for the idea, I'd work it in that style, although with fewer panels per page for various pragmatic reasons.

There was a great oral history on that starship clusterfuck awhile back on GQ. Everyone involved seems to hate it now too.
