Get Nailed!

This article about R.K. Milholland is one of the best that I have read. He is the author of the webcomic Something Positive. I'll definitely be going back to Sudden Nothing for more reads if her future interviews continue to be this good. That's right, Randy was her first. She's a smart one to start at the bottom of the barrel. ;) Enjoy (or be enraged) at the snippet:

"LM: The very first comic features Davan sending one of his ex-girlfriends a coat hanger as a baby shower gift. I know you’ve said these early strips are based very heavily on true events, but my question here is – were you purposely trying to kick off the comic with an unapologetically brutal moment so that readers would know what they were getting into? Or was it just funny? RKM: (laughing) It was a mix. I mean, what happened was… that story was based off an ex of mine. We were trying to be friends. I had just moved to Boston and she was contacting me and I was very suspicious of her, which wasn’t very fair of me. Anyway, she called me up and said she got me a Christmas gift and I thought damn, now I have to get something for her, so – she was eight months pregnant at the time, so I asked her if she’d like a fifth of whiskey and a clothes hanger. (there is a pause here as we both laugh… because, really, who can resist the fun-loving, family-friendly humor of whiskey and a coathanger?)"
