Ok, let’s get this started. I’m here with Jack Bryson, obscure poster of the PVB who has agreed to an interview with the Atlantic.
Q: So Jack, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, The Spectator, and Rolling Stone all want to know when and why you started posting for Parodyverse.
A: Well, the DK also known as Greg said I should check it out when I was going to school in Missoula, Montana. I’m not into comic books or fan-fiction, but I wrote a couple odd stories, Superhero and Workday, and I was curious as to how they would go over here. My primary interest is mainstream literature.
Q: So how did they go over?
A: Quite well I think.
Q: Are you a prolific writer?
A: Not at all. I’ve written about twelve stories now, and I have an idea for a novel, but I don’t write frequently.
Q: So what do you think of the stories here?
A: Ironically, many of the characters in the stories here are sympathetic, which is uncharacteristic of comics. I can relate more to the characters and stories here, and they’re pretty tight.
Q: Wow, don’t you think that’s a bold statement?
A: Not really. Many comics have unsympathetic, grandiose characters or situations. In part, it’s the nature of the medium, but I don’t want to read about someone’s internal dialogue that begins with, “I just need to be brave enough to save the world,” or something weird like that. In contrast, I’ve enjoyed the characters in Parodyverse, because they’re more human.
Q: So do you have any more odd stories to post?
A: Well, I’m working on one where a talk show host is arrested for interviewing an angel- like when Edward R. Murrow got in trouble for interviewing a communist. I might post it sometime if it’s ok with everyone else on the board.
Q: Well, that’s all the questions I have for you, do you wish to add anything?
A: No, that’ll do it for me.
Q: This is Atlantic concluding an interview with world famous author Jack L. Bryson. Currently he’s in hiding, because four governments have put a hit on him. If anyone knows where he can purchase Kevlar, hand grenades, and a machine gun at a discount, please e-mail the information to the Atlantic.
