He's pretty genial, albeit in an aggressive sort of way. Fairly adequate interviewer, and it probably helps that he only talks to people he wants to talk to. Chances are any interview with Robyn will only be on the website along with the additional song. It helps to enjoy the show if you find him amusing, even if it's not for the reasons he finds himself amusing. "Children have always enjoyed my movies.

I enjoyed this comic* when I first discovered it a year or so ago - but its writer, though he's a talented drafter, often has no idea what to do in terms of plot. That wouldn't be a problem if he just eschewed plot and came up with interesting daily situations, but instead he sorta does half of one, half of the other.
