FAQ: If working on some of the stories in P,S! upset you so much, why do it?
December 27th, 2009 |Posted In: Uncategorized
It’s cheaper than therapy. My art is a psychological toilet and safe place. If something good comes out of it, more power to me. Storytelling without passion is boring, and if getting that passion brings me pain, so be it.
I’d rather be melancholy about my art, than negative and depressed in the real world.

He actually found us on MySpace via Ace’s profile, believe it or not. He has been a joy to work with ever since.
Because death is random, and it affects everyone.
Why do you write so much of the text in Polska, Sucka! in non-english languages?
December 27th, 2009 |Posted In: Uncategorized
Because I want to! What the hell is wrong with a little mystery or searching through a foreign dictionary? The comic is set in Poland and Eastern Europe, for Pete’s sake — is it that unreasonable to have my characters speak in their native language. If it were completely up to me, Polska, Sucka! would not even be in English, but my grasp of Polish is tenuous at best, so I have to work with the skills I do have. Its also hard to translate text that’s pretty much nonsense written by someone with a Kindergarten level of writing in Eastern European languages, so there. Anyway, to placate readers of the comic who finds this tendency of mine annoying to the extreme, I will make a compromise: All unnecessary translations will be posted in the comments section of each comic upon request. I am not a linguistic wizard. Thank you for understanding.
Yes and no. Since this book is based upon exploitation cinema, it is not surprising that every single character in the series seems stereotypical to some extent. Every race, creed, and predilection is represented. However, I go out of my way to flesh out each character as much as it is humanly possible. After all, this book is about individuals and the choices they make, not a neo-Nazi propaganda pamphlet.
I am working on it, but if anyone wants to write individual character profiles, let me know.
FAQ: How could’ve Skylark sold a kid for euros when Rocket was a kid? Euros didn’t exist until 1991.

This is an alternate universe Poland. Now keep your anal-retentive mouth shut. It’s only a friggin’ comic book.
FAQ: Crack didn’t even exist in the 70′s. Why is Skylark’s mom smoking it?

Because in Suckaverse Poland, she invented it. Originally, it was called “krakowina.”
The scene where the Chasidic Jews encounter the corpse is full of mistakes. Why?
December 27th, 2009 |Posted In: Uncategorized
The Chasid who happened to be a Holocaust survivor was more sympathetic to Skylark’s imperfect handling of the corpse and in the way he dealt with the person responsible for her death, than his American counterpart. The main reason being that he knew first hand of the unpleasant things people had to do to survive and to protect others during that hideous period in history, and could see echoes of that in Skylark’s own experiences.I foolishly made the corpse’s makeshift kittel purple instead of white because I was color-happy. This error in the second edition of that issue.
I am also guessing that a lot of the gaffes might have been on Skylark’s part since he was probably still grief-stricken and trying to come to grips with his own actions in terms of exacting revenge. However, I will say that Rocket prepared the corpse in the most correct manner she could, as Skylark could techically not clean the corpse himself.
