I for one would love to see an animated feature with Peter Bagge’s characters.

Ted Rall

Thanks for the mention, Alan! Technically it’s a graphic memoir. In both senses of the word.

It should also be mentioned that the artwork isn’t by me, but by Pablo G. Callejo, the award-winning artist of the “Bluesman” series. Unlike my stuff, it’s very purty.
