Thanks for the friendly comments. I feel I should apologize for the illustration – I have come to realize that it looks very much like a Danish colleague of mine, Mr. Baggersgaard, and it is, therefore, statistically unlikely that it looks very much like Mr. Neely (we didn’t meet), although I DID make it with reference to googled images and video.

Awesome interview. I’ve been a fan of his stuff for about 3 years now. I originally got into it because it was so funny but I ended up being able to connect with it. I think it’s because his characters are selfish, like he says, and that would make sense because we’re all selfish. But that’s okay.

Again, great job with the interview.

That’s true. I’d totally rather be fucking than writing this message.

Brads stuff is just awesome. It makes me think and laugh. The kind of thing that art is really suppose to do. It can help the audience understand the world a little better than when they started. It was a good interview and it was interesting to get an insight on how Brad thinks and works. It was also good to get another perspective on his work. I thought BC was retarded also, so don’t feel bad.. I don’t think Brad really wants us to have a high regard for any of his caricature’s personally. They are usually so self absorbed the rest of the world doesn’t really matter to them at all. I like Brads stills a lot but not as much as his other stuff. When he mixes his comic strips and his music ( each that would fail on there own ) some kind of crazy magic comes out of it. It radiates genus in every direction. From matching a mood to the relevance of whats going on in the story. In a blunt world thats so unique and disturbing it defies proper description for me. I pray Mr Neely may soon find a proper venue for his work. One that will properly reward him financially WITHOUT making him jump threw any hoops to make him PC or “appeal to a larger demographic”.

Thank you for realizing Mr. Neely is well worth interviewing and exposing to a larger audience !!

Very nice interview – I found Neely’s work quite strange when I first saw it, but by now I’m a huge fan expecially of Baby Cakes and the Brothers. It’s now wonder that the guy behind it all seems to be an intriguing person himself.

First of all, great interview Christoffer. Brad rocks; I got hooked on George Washington in college and must have pulled the vid up at every party I was at for a month straight after I first saw it.

Second, thank you a TON for inquiring about the “technicalities.” I never tire of hearing how others work their magic.

Cheers!
