So it's becoming harder and harder to satirize because of how rapidly it's becoming ridiculous.

You were talking about you don't even know if a Grand Theft Auto 6...

if it's possible to satirize, because by the time you release the thing, it's already going to be outdated in terms of, the satire will become reality, essentially.

First of all, it'd be nice to get your updated view on that.

Second of all, it seems like you've answered your very own comment with American Caper, which seems to satirize American culture just fine in how much over the top it goes.

Anyway, there's lots of questions in there.

So American Caper is, first of all, an epic comic book.

I love it.

The art.

What made you want to set it in Wyoming?

And there is over the top stuff.

So let me take notes on this.

There's a spoiler alert, I guess, from the first issue, I believe.

There's a devout suburban Mormon who commits, I think, serial murder with a shovel as a form of religious atonement.

And of course there's this Shakespearean sort of two neighbors situation and each of them having a duality of who they are in terms of good and evil.

So there's a Wall Street transplant who wants to be a cowboy.

Yes.

Who loves to manually harvest bull semen.

Accurate?

I mean, this is the notes I've been taking.
