I started to do this for Man Cave Daily, and then the schedule exploded and now it’s well and truly past its opportunity.

Interview follows after the cut:

Prose Wednesday interview with Secret Identity
Brian LeTendre at Secret Identity just asked me some questions about the junk I write, and I answered them in a semi-serious manner. Mostly it’s me listing everyone I admire in comics and comedy.
