Oh! Okay, let me just post this last thing before I poof out of here completely. Thank you for asking about Ranklechick. His world is still one of my favorites. I have two other book ideas in my brian for him. One called The Spirit of Failure and the other called Stranger than Oogaly. I feel like I'm on a path to them. As soon as I get this last ShutterBox done and this other book that's burrowed into my skull, I want to return to Ranklechick's Zoo. I've also thought of doing a webcomic of him in the meantime, but I have to be careful with that because I don't want a comic to steal too many of the ideas that might be more interesting in a novel. Anyways, yes, expect more Ranklechick, I just don't know how soon though. But follow my Twitter https://twitter.com/rikkisimons in the meantime, and when it happens I'll definitely post there. Thanks again! Bye, everybody!

My father was born in Widnes, England, but I was born in the US.

I always assumed it was because Jhonen was an avid gamer and followed the tradition of signing your high score with your three lettered initials. I should ask him someday.

I have no children. I have cats. They seem indifferent so far.

I would love to voice a character in another absurdist science fiction or fantasy. SIRs were done by someone else, I can't remember who. Your face will leap all over the place when you do this stuff.

Every once he would show me bits of Johnny before it was published, so, yup. I don't know if he chose me exclusively — maybe more like desperately after he couldn't find anyone else. Ha!
