Q & A W/ JM

Q: Who or what are your biggest literary influences at the moment?

A / JM: Hammid's Black and White "Cards" on Adult Swim, online social media paragraph centric things like Twitter and Blogger, internet literature, particularly columns and postings on sites like Anime News Network and the Adult Swim Message Boards, where I used to post as Spindack, but now post as ActionFistBullet, and the lyrics of Dethklok, the fictional band on Metalocalypse on Adult Swim. Seth MacFarlane's novel, A Million Ways to Die in The West. Not so much because it's incredibly well written as because I can relate to what he's doing, a fellow animation auteur who wants to be taken seriously as a writer and author. I can appreciate that balance. The novel is actually pretty good, and separate from the context of his animated shenanigans. 

So yeah, lots of internet and [adult swim culture] in my writing...
