Author: Brent Clough

It's about having a quick doodle, chatting with the inventor of Bugs Bunny and the inventor of Ren and Stimpy. There's also a chat with people who scrutinise handwriting to see if someone can be trusted, and there's a bit of manga, a bit of graffiti, a visit to the tattoo parlour and a little bit of boop boop be doop, Betty Boop.
