It was just this fantastical, mystical place.

And then, so then cut to like eight years ago and I published a book with Fantagraphics.

my god published this yeah and um you guys can have it um so that was a real oh like this pinch yourself holy moment moment yeah so so yeah i did bring some comics um as like visual aids but like you know this was like is one from uh arcade from from the

So this is my new book that's coming out in June called Pear Shape on Fantagraphics.

And it is very gory.

The man being sawed in half by two other people.

Yeah, he's being sawed in half.

It's a really, you know, the expression like it's all gone pear shaped.

So this would maybe suggest that I do like gore, but I actually, gore is not the thing that motivates me.

In fact, you know,

In addition to the Marvel stuff, when I was like younger, like 12 or whatever, and 11, I really loved Calvin and Hobbes, even like as a young kid, like Archie comics.

So, you know, I think I just want funny.

Oh, nice.

Wow.

That's good.

Got a mega fan.

I mean, and he was such an inspiration, I think.

I even wrote Bill Watterson a letter when he stopped publishing, like a thank you letter.

And then I got a form letter back that was like, Bill Watterson is no longer doing Calvin and Hobbes, so he can't.

I was like, I know I was writing to thank him for his, I was such a nerd.
