More From Jon Adams

We asked Jon Adams if he wanted to contribute anything else to the site. In return, he sent us this kickass drawing that he did:
Pretending
After we saw this, we wanted to probe, a bit. We wanted to know just what makes this artist tick. So we e-mailed him three questions. (Please note that the fourth question – regarding handsomeness – was added by Adams himself. Also please note that we did indeed figure out what makes him tick: self-promotion.) – -Editor

Q. Clearly you’re disturbed. Why is that?
A. My mother drank a lot while she was pregnant with me. And after the birth. And I drank a lot. In fact, I’m drinking right now. So, basically, what I’m saying is, if you want to be a talented artist like me, you need to suffer. And drink. And, if you really want to go that extra mile, go ahead and huff some gasoline. Maybe eat some markers too. You probably have a Sharpie near you, so break off that tip and eat up.

Q. What makes you happiest?
A. Too many things to list here. But these are some of my favorites: cuddling with strangers while they sleep; sharing a meal with a stranger from across the room; making love with a stranger from across the room (or outside their window); bumble bees; sword fights; filling out little Q&A’s for my “friends” who are too brainless to come up with any content on their own; singing along to the “Perfect Strangers” theme song; and waking up to see the face of a beautiful girl who would probably blush if I named her here.

Q. Is there anything else you’d like to tell our readers?
A. If you’ve read this Q&A and thought “Ha ha,” then it’s likely you would also think “Ha ha” or some variation thereof (like “Har har,” for instance) while reading my comic Truth Serum. And sure, this may seem like a shamless plug, but really, when you think about it, I’m actually trying to help you enrich your life. And if you want to stand in the way of that, well then I just pity you. What do you have to be scared of? Don’t you like to laugh? I thought you did, but I guess your mom was right about you.

Q. Why are you so much more handsome than us?
A. Firstly, genetics. Let’s face it, I’ve been pretty blessed. But also, next to you, even John Lithgow looks like some sort of Adonis. You should stop comparing yourself to people like me. Once you come to terms with your mediocrity, a wave of calming complacency will overtake you.
