Comments on: The Adrian Tomine Interview http://www.sizemore.co.uk/visiblemonsters/2006/12/01/the-adrian-tomine-interview/ Saying the wrong thing since 1972 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:00:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Doc http://www.sizemore.co.uk/visiblemonsters/2006/12/01/the-adrian-tomine-interview/#comment-8409 Doc Sat, 02 Dec 2006 15:22:30 +0000 http://www.sizemore.co.uk/visiblemonsters/?p=1904#comment-8409 I have no idea which issue it was or even if I remember it correctly anymore but I seem to remember one of his stories where a girl was practically throwing herself at this guy and he was completely devoid of emotion and acting all introspective and (despite my loathing of the word, its usage does fit, sadly) horribly 'emo' and I remember SCREAMING at the comic, "Just fucking shag her you daft prick!" That was the last of his work I ever read. I always find that I need to relate to a story's protagonist in some way and most of Tomine's characters being weird socially retarded creeps suddenly became frustrating to read and somewhat tedious... Anyway. I have something I've been meaning to send to you for ages now. I can't seem to find your address so if you email it to me I'll get this sent off and hope it misses the xmas postal rush. :) I have no idea which issue it was or even if I remember it correctly anymore but I seem to remember one of his stories where a girl was practically throwing herself at this guy and he was completely devoid of emotion and acting all introspective and (despite my loathing of the word, its usage does fit, sadly) horribly ‘emo’ and I remember SCREAMING at the comic, “Just fucking shag her you daft prick!”

Anyway. I have something I’ve been meaning to send to you for ages now. I can’t seem to find your address so if you email it to me I’ll get this sent off and hope it misses the xmas postal rush. :)

I think I spent so much money on nerd comics back then as some kind of penance for all the nerd damage I was responsible for when I was a kid.

I haven't read this interview since I'm about to go play a gig but I will read this when I get back and continue my mild indignation then. Tata!
