Q & A

EIGHT QUESTIONS from GLENN EICHLER
 
What’s your favorite book that wasn’t written or drawn by you?
There are too many to name, but almost anything by P.G. Wodehouse.
 
If you were shipwrecked on a desert island, what one piece of media would you take with you?  If it isn’t your favorite book, explain how you came to this peculiar decision.
The boxed set Citizen Steely Dan.  I’ve got the songs playing in my head all the time anyway, so I might as well be able to hear them.
 
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
Coffee.  Coincidentally, that’s also my favorite coffee flavor.
 
How are you planning to survive the zombie apocalypse?
Consume enough potato chips so that I’m too salty for them to eat.
 
What’s your favorite word?
Defenestrate.
 
If you suddenly fell into a dimensional vortex and ended up in 1529, what profession would you adopt?
I.T. guy, because then I’d never have to work.
 
Black or white?  Cats or dogs?  Apples or oranges?  Robots or vampires?
Black, dogs, oranges, definitely robots.  I am so over vampires.
 
What’s the worst fortune cookie advice you ever got?  Did you take it?
“Tolerance is the key to a happy life.”  If I ever find that fortune cookie writer, I’ll kick his ass.
