Yeah, about the Clerks TAS...I'm not quite sure why I like it as much as I do, but I'm sure you'll find a few people that feel the same way. I mean, once thing that makes me enjoy it so much is that it is so cult-ish, moreso even than your other stuff. It's just one of those things that you feel that you've "discovered," with jokes that you laugh at 10 times harder than you should. You think that it's waaaay underrated and wasn't given a proper, fighting chance. Maybe it just fits closer with my sense of humor or something, or maybe it's because of the less-is-more approach to a 30 minute, 6 episode cartoon show, but for some reason it's very easy to connect to. That doesn't mean that I don't absolutely love all of your other stuff, but I have some problems with certain things in Mallrats and Dogma (mainly performances and line readings) that prevent them from challenging Clerks TAS. Maybe you'll read this...maybe not.

: are we going to get a chance to take a peek at it?
: Oh yes...

: course that's saying a lot).
: Good Christ, really? I... I don't know how to feel about that...
