Who is Sweetwater?  

He is me – the asshole drawing all these sweet-ass comics.  In his most powerful form, Sweetwater is a human-titted dragon capable of incinerating all of mankind’s hopes and dreams.  Rarrg!

What materials do you use to make your comics?

I use the teeth of a dead Indian shaman.  This time I mean Native American – feather, not dot.  I dip the shaman teeth in ink, and use the incisors for thin line work and molars for thicker panel borders.  I then color these comics with shitty corporate bulk-purchased highlighters stolen from my former office at the local newspaper.

 

Do the things you draw really happen?

Why yes, yes they do.  This is a journal comic. I pick one moment out of my day where I was a total asshole, and draw that instance. Everything is real.  Sometimes I’ll truncate stuff so the whole incident can fit in four panels, but yeah – I keeps it real yo.

 

How long does it take you to draw a single journal comic?

Not long. An hour or two. Two if I have no lightbox around. I try to do ‘em quick and not be precious about them.

 

Have your comics offended anyone or caused controversy? 

I certainly hope so.  They are carefully designed to do so.

 

How can I help the sweetwaterisanasshole.com party wagon?

Uncle Sweetwater is glad you asked!  I want you (yes, YOU!) to march on the offices of every major book publisher.  I need you to begin a viral internet campaign praising the work on this site – and, indeed, proclaiming it to be the best goddamn site of all time!  I need you to go down to Wal-Mart and buy a bar of Irish Spring™ and a long tube sock.  I then want you to put the bar of Irish Spring™ into the tube sock, twirl it about your head and bludgeon any non-believers you happen to come across.  

Also, your girlfriend will probably not like this comic.  If you can not control her, dump her.

 

Any advice for the youngsters?

Just say “No.”
