Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 23

   Not much to say here, except, the infamous BZORT reappears one last time as the D'varri ship makes its way to the safe house. Right there in the lower right corner of the third panel there. The main character fellow, now in D'varri form, hears this BZORT in the corner and gets up just in time to see Ash's DNA dissolve, with her requisite little "!" They all do that. It's what you say hen your DNA gets dissolved. She blows away, Ash now Ash.

   See, I guess that makes all of their names puns. Ash, because of her inevitable fate, Dustin because he was a Roomba, Karen because, even though we did not see her outside of the main character's imagination, deep down she truly cared. I guess that makes the main guy's name, I don't know, Hiro Protagonist? Naw, already been done (hey, there, Stephenson fans!) Or, maybe, then, Hey, I'm Gonna Turn Into an Alien in the End? Oh, well. He does have a name... maybe.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 22

   This is one of the pages I drew earlier on. Well, maybe not entirely earlier on. I'll have to think about it. But this transformation sequence is where the D'Varri design comes from. In much the same way I got more audacious with the explosion on page 2, only more extreme, I was literally making up the design on the fly and pulling back and back and back from what a human looks like as the guy transforms. His nostrils become his mouths! Eventually I was as far back as I could get while still having it make sense with the path I started off on in the transformation, so you can see it slowing down there at the end once I was out of ideas.

   From this design I went back and added the shadow being cast across the veggie seller's cart all the way back on page one, forshadowing (so to speak) what was to come, and what the threat exactly was. You can also see it in the reveal shot of the Moldovian soldier's hologram. I think some of the more vague silhouettes in that before that were done before the alien design was finalized, because it didn't need to be at that point.

   During one of Joe's sarcastic readings of the page, he read the guy's hair falling out on into his hand as being his hand being on fire. Can you kind of see that? So I went in and made that more clear, by adding hair... sockets, I guess? and motion lines indicating where the hair was falling from. So, thanks, Stumps. If you look, you can also see the hair falling out of his hands there, which I also did not have originally and added, which effect I'm less pleased with but at least it's subtle.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 21

   The infamous nudie scene. His pertinent bits are covered by panel borders. It took me a lot of redrawing to get the proportions to fit so that that was possible, so yeah, I was very careful. The proportions of the panels work out, then.

   The proportions of the anatomy, not so much. He's from a slightly different angle in each panel! Which, hmm, maybe was deliberate. Never mind. The navel had to be redrawn and re-positioned quite a bit to make it clear that it was a navel and not, erm, something else.

   On the other side, though, the alien spaceship cuts a swathe of destruction through Reykjavik. It's kind of disappointing that there's an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS naked man on the other side distracting from the really really good D'varri spaceship art on the other side. You can actually feel the camera pulling out. Just go back and pay attention to only the right hand side.

   Yeah.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 20

   Yep, he's human under all that half-of-his-face-is-a-beret-and-the-rest-is-a-robot. And yep, turns out he's a natural blond. And yep, he's taking off his clothes. I think the inherent nudity-ity of the situation is defused somewhat by his adorable tube arms, the way I drew him, when he's dropping his trou. Look at those arms!

   Ash is loving it more than she should, but it's okay, because in this morality play, the sin of Lust is quickly punished by throwing up a little into your mouth when you see exposed brain tissue. That's actually pretty gross. It's not really explained ever, why the guy is a cyborg, but I think it's pretty obvious: something happened to half of his head.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 19

   After using his cyber-vision to somehow see that BZORKing works on the molecular level, specifically by dissolving DNA, and having made it to the safe house where DNA modification technology exists that conveniently was in their path, this is the part where the relationship between Ash and the cyborg dude comes into play, and all that stuff before turns out to be important. DNA modification requires "starbolic" nudity (quasi-future slang! "Starbolic," as in "stark bollock(s)," meaning "naked," I just got from a slang encyclopedia. Useful those things.)

   So, the beret-wearing cyborg dude, Cystex-head, (I mean head of Cystex, but he does have a very distinctive head,) decides that in order to respect Ash, he should be the one to undress before she does so that he shouldn't have to look at a naked woman while he's still in human form, and, you know, into that kind of stuff. Now Ash can look at him naked instead of him looking at her naked. Respect! Except that Ash is known to have an interest in the cyborg man, while the cyborg man is stated to have no interest in her. Such a setup would only reward Ash's illicit lusts. Respect? R-respect, I guess. Remember, I'm allowed to nitpick at my own thing.

   Just this becomes very important. It is very important. The order in which this occurs.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 18

   The layout of this page is pretty sloppy. You see him dodging the D'varri motherships or whatever, but you probably couldn't tell until I drew your attention to it- now- that he's actually between two of them. That was initially clearer, but you can see I then kind of awkwardly overlaid a speech bubble that he was saying, to justify some parts of his relationship with Ash from here on (namely, why he doesn't want to look at her naked while he himself is perfectly alright with getting naked in front of her.) I guess that's a pretty significant thing, then. Drives on the sidewalk, bursts up a fire hydrant. It's one of those crappy Icelandic ones, eh.

   This guy's hardcore. He can tell if someone's DNA is dissolving just by looking at them. It's probably somehow related to his cyborg eye. His cyborg eye could see it, but his human eye- well, obviously his human eye was behind that beret, but, yeah. His human eye couldn't. That actually explains how he could tell that there were differential fractions encoded into the leaves on the trees of a painting just by looking at it. His eye's Superman.

   Also, aside from that and the Icelanding manor house this dude's apparently got, he's also got an Icelandic safe house with technology that allows you to replace your DNA. How, uh, fancy.

   That's it! This guy doesn't just work for Cystex. This guy is Cystex. He's their CEO or something. That explains why they didn't tell anyone about their discoveries. They didn't need to. He was the only person who needed to know. Adds an interesting layer to the Ash/main character dynamic, that's for sure.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 17

   In Michelangelo's mural on the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, the pod of God when he creates Adam has the exact profile of a brain. Dan Browning it, we're saying that there's just no way that one of the greatest geniuses of the Renaissance could have known what a brain looked like, but he was influenced to paint it like that through subliminal processes telling him how anatomy works. Since that's basically the entire D'varri shtick, accidentally psychically implanting ideas of their own DNA into people, that fits. I think that was Joe's idea, using the Sistine chapel ceiling as the perfect analogy for how that works. Or Cailin's. Definitely not mine, as I didn't even know that, but, sure enough.

And then ASH SMOOCHING OUT OF NOWHERE. I'm not sure how clear it is that that's what's going on. So our hero boy delivers his spiel about how he can't return her love, because

1. He's technophilic, and
2. Even if he weren't, he's still married.

   The power of fidelity (except with robots) triumphs all!

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 16

   It's the green remote control thing from the cover. II think that's the last piece assembled of all the cover items. Or at least, now with a D'varri mothership in the final panel, it is. Contained on the green thing? Ostensibly, code.

   But go on, assign those numbers somehow to differential fractals and to ACGT. I guarantee you that it won't work. 5s, 7s, and 9s don't even belong in quadnary code (it's like binary code, but with four I guess?) What you really need to derive from page is this: TECHNOBABBLE. I didn't know what I was saying, just as you don't know what I was saying. At least I know the difference between DNA and RNA?

The return of the infamous BZORT. It's been a while, old buddy.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 15

   I really like how the coloring came out in these scans. The alien psychic ability, seen here as a weird green aura. Which can apparently be transmitted via radio. That's actually very important, and it explains a lot. Yes, it makes sense.

   A few really great panel setups here. Take a moment to appreciate those. The top half, with its interlocking ones that can really be read in any order you choose, and then the more conservative bottom half, with that painting in both panels there between Ash and hero guy. I'm not sure if there's a word for what that is there.

   Aand then we're in Iceland, at the Fjunderson ancestral home. Or, uh, Fjunderson Manor, as Icelandic names don't really work like that. (Ancestral home?) So, maybe this guy's name s Fjunderson. Or maybe not. I really just transitioned the entire thing to Iceland for no reason, other than because Iceland. Because Iceland.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 14

   "Final item destroyed!?" Well, that certainly was a close call, getting to the last painting on earth with the D'varri DNA encoded into it right before it was destroyed. How convenient. Or maybe that refers to the last item that that particular soldier was assigned to destroy. Makes sense. That was the same soldier from before. Introduced blowing up paintings in the Met. This guy was just the East Coast Moldovian painting destroyer.

   But without a doubt the two best sound effects on this page. SMASHATTER and KA-BROOM HANDLE. I don't even know which once I like better. They're both so great, and equally awesome and hilarious and brilliant. They both make the entire thing worth it.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 13

   Oh, man, that Moldovian guy just blew up the painting with a freaking rocket launcher! Thank goodness you snapped a photograph of it before it was destroyed. But, no, it's not about getting a look at the painting to see the secret information encoded into it. It's about getting to the painting and protecting it. That failed, unfortunately, but at least they've still got something to go off of when looking for that particular painting's secret. "We've got a picture" could refer to having gotten a picture of the Moldovian soldier to run it through a database or something. Not of the painting. It could have been any photograph of that painting, really.

   (Which opens up another plot hole- why they bother destroying the originals if depictions of them already exist. Well, maybe. Just thank goodness this one wasn't one of those paintings whose secrets were encoded using under-layers of paint or invisible ink.)

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 12

   Some of the boldest panel design in the entire book here, with the "we're here" and then the establishing shot of the Chicago Art Institute. I've got no idea what the Chicago Art Institute looks like, so I just went as far away from what it possibly looks like as I could to signify, yes, this is the future, and we're taking artistic liberties with this. They've, just, gotten new architecture by then. totally awesome architecture.

   "For what are we looking?" Yeah, Ash just talks like that. You can kind of see beret cyborg guy sort of raising his eyebrow at that on (that is actually why I drew him raising his eyebrow like that, at Ash's clunky attempt at not dropping her participle, so yeah, take that as canon.)

   Nicolas Poussin's Saint John on Patmos is indeed part of the A.A. Munger collection, and it is indeed currently located at the Chicago Art Institute (last time I checked, when I wrote this comic,) but I'm not sure that it's ever been at the Louvre, and in fact I just Dan Brown'd the heck out of the painting's history. All other information given here about the painting is accurate. Except for maybe its depicted size. But Dan Brown did the same thing with a lot of paintings in the Da Vinci Code as well, so I'm following a rich tradition here and it might be deliberate.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 11

   And we learn that maroon-beret cyborg man's wife's name is Karen. I guess that makes him Mr. Karen, or something. No, never mind. But, no, this commentary is to provide you with insight, so here we go, my thought processes behind this page. This page itself isn't a very big scene; it's more of the transition between bigger set pieces, so you can see what I'm setting up here: the fact that all the hidden messages in art are pointing toward something; the Chicago Art Institute, where Saint John on Patmos is located; a race against time.

   And the fan favorite, the resident cool car of the comic, the Dodge Futuro. Out of a poll of all who did the 24 hour comic challenge that day, three of three people said they'd drive one. Notice its sleek design and ability to hover. I don't know how to draw cars, but that doesn't keep me from trying.

   And that strange object that the Futuro is passing, the one that seems to have headlights of its own? it does. That's a yellow Volkswagen Beetle.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 10

   I'd rather say as little on this page as possible, as this page sounded by far the stupidest when Stumps did his little sarcastic reading of my comic. Even more stupid than other Ash stuff. Man, Ash talks stupid. But hero guy on this page, a close second.

   I guess this stuff they're talking about, with the out of my league, is why they didn't bother to tell anyone? It's a flimsy excuse, but it works. A temp at a data management company, indeed. (We had brainstormed a lot for what exactly it took for Cystex's role in the story to make sense, and that fit the bill the best. Still, nothing to see here, people. Moving on.)

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 9

   Ah, good ol' Cystex, Incorporated. Not the over-the-counter urinary pain relief Cystex, the entire unrelated, fictional data-management company, for which Ash and... hot stuff... work. Yeah.

   And you don't suppose that someone would have triangulated the center of the Scouring of France before, if it's so easy and so significant? But I do love to nitpick. You're allowed to do that to your own work, you know. Learn from your mistakes and plot holes; it makes you stronger. But I suppose there's no patch to this plot hole without derailing the entire thing. It has to be some Da Vinci Code-esque secret that only they would know, or else it would fall apart. Though I guess it doesn't have to be, and even then it's just stupidity on their part that they don't tell anyone else bout their findings. Maybe it would have even saved the entire world, who knows. Ah, well, Time nor place. Or, not on this page, at least. We've got plot to advance!

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 8

   I guess the papers here are holographic future papers. Would make sense. No, Peter Paul Rubens didn't use invisible ink in his paintings. John Paul Rubens, on the other hand, did. Completely different guy. Not even vaguely close to being related. It's not like I just pulled stuff out of my... um, hat. It's all, like, totally real. Yeah.

   And we get to the (montage?) of all the news anchors discussing the Scouring of France, in which Paris was wiped off the map and the "entire eastern hemisphere" lit up and sent out some weird alien beacon thingy, signaling the invasion. Of course, Geraldo's going to be all over that, alongside some other talking heads (including one literal talking head and a woman who may or may not be Tina Weymouth, bassist for the band Talking Heads.)

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 7

   Yeah, that's Ash for you I guess. I mean, I guess, I guess. This is just a wild-- I mean, I've got no idea.

   Makes even less sense when she's on topic, though. "Strange jank. Moldovian soldiers bursting into art museums, destroy random paintings. Or at least seemingly random. We've sent you a list of 'em. Get to work." Who talks like that? Strange jank, okay. Jank is strange (the meaning of the word "jank" depends entirely entirely entirely upon context. Meaningless on its own. Utterly meaningless. But a word is never on its own. It's always used in a context. For example if there was just the word, "jank!" that'd probably be an interjection. Et cetera.) Future slang, I guess? But the next sentence isn't even a sentence, and Moldovia isn't even a place, and... (Maybe Moldova has remerged with the land of the medieval Moldavian province, and this amalgam has been called Moldovia? THE FUTURE.) "Or at least seemingly random" has got to be one of the most wretched sentences in the English language. And so on.

   Okay, maybe Ash just talks like that. Yeah, that's it. No wonder our hero is rejecting her advances.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 6

   We meet the protagonist dude's wife, looking utterly unpregnant maybe, so that "Baby" magazine on the floor remains unexplained. Let's just say they already had their kid, as something has to come from the implication. Turns out that this is just a fantasy that the guy's having, so maybe not either way?

   "Stumpy" Joe (so called because I couldn't remember his name so I just called him "Stumpy" as a placeholder) did a quasi-sarcastic read through of Scourge while I was working on it, reading the completed (but I don't think fully colored) pages I had done while I was working on new ones. He read the grawlixes out loud, which was kind of humorous. You get a few good non-onomatopoeic sound effects on this page, classics like "detatch!" and "burst!" And, yes, you're allowed to spell the word "detach" with a "t" if it's being used as a sound effect.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 5

   And here we are, in... Long Island!? I guess. i can't seem to remember putting that, but that's apparently what I put. Enter out from under the shadow of the bed Dustin, a punnily named Roomba (it took Joe a while to realize that it was a pun, but when he got it, he got it.) We see a "Baby" magazine there under the bed (not girly, though I think originally the magazine's name would have been "Babe," which I think definitely would be (or, barring that, about pigs.)) This magazine changes his character from a bachelor who lives with a robot to a man with a wife and possibly a bun in the oven. Sure, a bun in the oven, why not; it's not like we see her ever except in the fantasy sequence on the following page.

   So, Dustin comes out from under the bed and bumps into... huh, I guess I never thought to name my main character. Oh well. Him and his awesomely colored shoes. A nice POV of what a Roomba apparently sees there, with a HUD identifying the man. What's it say? It's hard to make out, but, Hall, or something? No, I remember, that's supposed to represent "hello," so, no, I don't think he's ever named.  I don't think the main character, whoever he is, was supposed to be all that cyborgy- but I guess the Roomba POV makes everyone's arms look super skinny but they're like wearing gloves? The only electronic part of him is half of his head. Maybe this skinny arm might reflect early character design or something. I don't think I would have made that big of a mistake if it were a mistake, so must be? Though notice how the bookshelf behind him there is exactly lined up with where the "glove" thing starts, so I might have been trying to disguise it. But I wasn't without White-Out. So, I don't know, one way or the other. It's been lost to time.

   The main character protagonist puts the hot cup of whatever down on a bookshelf after apparently switching it to his left hand, and starts... well, you see what he does. I don't have to narrate everything. But, man, does that Roomba have some powerful suction, to be able to crawl around a guy's face with it.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 4

   There's really not much to say on this page. I don't know how to draw helmets, is one thing. He shoots the painting so hard, it explodes. How sickgnarly is that? The style in which I draw explosions hasn't changed since maybe second grade or earlier. Note the thick chunky tendrils of explosion. Also, the D'varri are apparently able to narrow their eyes and speak English. Because the Moldovian guy is speaking English. Who knew?

   I guess I should also say this about Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me the painting itself. Besides the fact that apparently it classifies as fine art, enough to have been inspired by D'varri psychic waves. Somehow, in some form, it had alien DNA subconsciously secretly painted into it. The weird teeth... ear... things coming out of the top of the woman's head (you can see the painting more clearly when it's not on fire, on the previous page) were supposed to be cat ears, I guess slipping my requisite Cats reference into the comic.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 3

   My grandmother freaked when she read the title of the artwork on this page. Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me?! it's named after a U2 song (the one that plays during the end credits of Batman Forever, right before Kiss from a Rose.) That is itself named after the Mel Carter song Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me, and in fact one of the reasons I called Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me what I did is because I figured she'd be okay with that. Well, if she freaked out so much about the painting named after the pop rock song named after the R&B song, then thank goodness she didn't see the page with the naked cyborg... or the part with the secretary with the hots for the married guy... or that same guy having the hots for robots... in fact, the whole thing is just messed up.

   The final sound effect the machine gun makes is "sickgnarly," if you look at that teeny tiny lettering there. Cailin, Stumps and I had a thing going on, where each of us had to somehow incorporate the word "sickgnarly" as a sound effect into our comic. It fit well into Joe's fair Dadaist comic, and for me, it began the long tradition of odd sound effects in Scourge. (Cailin forgot to do it  in hers, which is just as well, as it would have been really distracting from her more somber serious comic, "Aurora.")

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 2

   What is there to say about this page? Besides using so much black crayon is harder than it looks. Also keeping the black out of the white of the alien... signal... beacon... thing (ASBT for short.) That stuff had to be pure white. This huge explosion and release of ASBT energy from said explosion is the titular Scourge, the Scouring of France. France is just one big radioactive crater now. That's not passive aggression against France or anything; remember, the entire point is because the Louvre, the finest art museum in the world, is there. If it weren't France being destroyed here, there would be no story. I love France and its people. They've got good... stuff. Late night talk shows, that's it. They've got good late night talk shows.

   But this entire page is kind of an exercise in ridiculousness. How fantastically over-the-top can we get? This veggie vendor, this purveyor of produce getting exploded? Yes. This explosion being so large that you can see it from space? Alright. This explosion turning the entire northern hemisphere into a giant alien flashlight? Awesome!

   Note the continuity, also: the previous page took place during sunset, and here you can see half the world bathed in shadow and bifurcating France in half. Sunset. There's something kind of vaguely iconic about that, as best illustrated in the final panel. Half the world in night, half the world in day, half the world being lit up and sending a beacon out into the screaming black void of space.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Page 1

   Setting out into this, the first thing I opened up on, was important, so I tried very hard to get it right. I just decided this, and went from there. Paris, 2073. That's a definitive time and place, which also sets a mood. It is sunset, and there is a vegetable vendor hocking his wares in the last light of the setting sun. A shadow falls across his booth. Et cetera. Getting into a rhythm. It can go a lot of places from here. I'm not sure why he's wearing an eye patch, no. But, on the very first page we get our sound effect: BZORT, which signifies the aliens... dissolving DNA, I guess. That's the sound it makes.

   The first page presents a good opportunity to talk about the color of this comic, seeing as how it's the first page, as well as containing a sunset, which means pretty colors. This comic is the only full color 24 hour comic I've done so far. The ease of how this comic at least seemed allowed me to get a tad more ambitious with my next comics, though actually this one is the most epic in scope. Ambitious in terms of artwork quality and storytelling and artistic direction, I mean. Stylistically, in terms of layout and everything, this comic is fairly vanilla.

Scourge w/ Commentary, Cover Page

   SCOURGE. A 24-Hour comic by Eric Perazzo. Rated TEEN 13+. -Suggestive Themes -Disturbing Content -Brief Mild Nudity. (Bar code here.)

   Awesome logo design. SCOURGE. And a good shot of how D'varri warships work. (Pouring DNA-dissolving lava stuff out of the top.) Yes, The Last Supper is not a painting on canvas. It is a fresco. And if it were even on canvas it would still be much bigger, like still fresco-sized. I am aware. I was just conveying the Da Vinci Code spirit of the work by using an actual Da Vinci in the background. Note the level of detail with the fingernail coloration on the hand. I just renoticed that.

24 Hour Comics, w/ Commentary

   Since the 24 hour comics went over so well the first time (a joke, of course,) I've decided to show each of my 24 hour comics again, with the addition of a sort of running commentary to each one. Think of it as not unlike the audio commentary tracks on DVDs. Insight is always good, so you'll see that for the pages of each of the three 24 hour comics, back-to-back-to-back.

   Along the way, you'll get glimpses into the process behind the creation of each one,  self-praise or critique on the artwork, annotation on things that were either unclear or cut out entirely from the comics, and miscellaneous additional notes that will pop up from time to time. I sincerely hope you enjoy.

Gift Card

   I found this card, among all my other birthday, get well soon, and other gift cards, while I was cleaning up my things. It's... worth sharing, I felt. In the same way the day after graduation became sombre two years ago, there's this where the same thing happens. This gift card. It's from Adam, sent to me while he was still on his mission. In the suits I'm wearing.

   Thanks, man. You too. Don't trip either...

Four Years Ago Today

   Class of 2010. It's been four years today since high school graduation. Four years. I'd be through four years of college, now, too, if I weren't on my mission right now. I'm not sure if that feels like a long time now. As I write this in 2012, it feels like even longer.

   My hair's so great in that.

Cider, Super-Speedy Style

   More anti-brony arguing. Wow. Not in response to anything in particular, just I thought I needed a good springboard for this, so I'm making one up. There's probably going to be that, so my excuse isn't all that far-fetched. But, it's not anti-brony so much as anti-... Well, no, it is anti-brony. Who says you have to be for children to be clean? Or even vice versa? For example, the episode The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000. Yeah, you know this crap is going to be awesome from that title alone. These guys are hard core.

   The cider in that episode is implied to be alcoholic. No foals are seen to be drinking it. Plus, it foams when you pour it, which is far more damning. Still, they don't state this explicitly, because this is still a kid's show and they don't have the guts in their blood like with the cider in Fantastic Mr. Fox. But it's there. Does this make Rainbow Dash, the one most excited for cider season, a functional alcoholic?

   We get to see the entire process of cider-making, though, and there's no time for fermentation. So, I guess it's not. Well, actually, there wouldn't even need to be: the only reason horses are able to digest raw grains is because of the fermentation that naturally occurs in the horse's cecum. This only raises more questions, though, like, why would they even need to ferment the cider in the first place? Okay, it further aids digestion. I guess that makes all the ponies functional alcoholics. Beer for my horses, indeed.

Correspondence 10/26/10 10:23 - 10:29

   Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own was written by Bono as a tribute to his father, and sung at his funeral. We here discuss what will happen when Bono will die and the Edge will have to sing a song at Bono's funeral, too. The final song Joey Ramone listened to on his deathbed was In a Little While. There is an incurable distance between the living and the dead. So it goes, I suppose.

Oh man, I dreamt that Bono was dead, and the song "Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own" was sung by the Edge. It was horrible. (Not Edge's singing; the fact that Bono was dead.)

Only, it was like, two years ago that he died, and he had been dead for two years. Also, some guy named Peter Peterson was dead, and I went around to people saying, "Bono's dead, man. Peter Peterson is dead, too." And I was listing all the dead people.
There's an uncurable distance between the living and the dead.
