This lousy economy…
Sometimes, you never know where or when you might get an idea for a strip so you have to almost always be consciously aware of things around you. Today’s strip is a prime example of that.
For example, last week I was in an elevator when a girl walked in with an Ambercrombie and Finch hoodie – only it had a zipper front and, in the particular way the shirt was folded, I saw “Amberombie” and that immediately triggered the thought “How can I make some kind of fun of Ambercrombie?” – and then, suddenly, “Amberzombie” popped in my head.
Once I had that idea, it was a no-brainer to bring back I.R. Hungré to see what he’s been up to since Marc interviewed him a couple of months ago.
So… that’s a little bit of an insight as to where these crazy ideas of mine come from…
