This is hilarious/awesome/genius. I was expecting a nice interview with a jolly old man who liked to draw, and instead I listened to an ex-gang man, wronged by every comic legend that has ever existed, talk to "Danny" about radioactive superheroes and his gang/"superhero" life (Hell's Kitchen Sous-chefs), including robbing a man with a brick.
My favorite quotes:
"I put Stan-ey-boy Lee in a coma"
"I grew up in a very turbulent time...So many communists running around..you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting some communist with a printing press."
"...and badda-bing, you could have yourself some going out money!"
"They wanted a little shrimpy guy...[not a giant radioactive crime-fighting spidah]."
"Why the focus on radioactivity? It seems like a lot of your pitches seem to focus on that."
"If you wanna talk about something that will scare your little short pants..."
A RADIOACTIVE TROLLEY MAN!?
"That's borderline racist...
Race? Wha what?
uh... nevermind..."
"Maybe Daddy's going to go out tonight and get himself a nice dinner" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"It's nice boys like you, Danny, who keep my legacy alive."
A BRASS PAIR!?!?! This was the most amazing experience. Long live the real Denny Colt!
That whole interview just reeked of schmeckle.
That's right. I said it.
I think "Japan Man" might've been my favorite moment.
