This is not the same thing as having a lobotomy, though I imagine they are both somewhat disorienting experiences. The creative, funny, and dare I say paranoid genius at Predator Press was kind enough to interview me about Marvellous Hairy and The Amadeus Net, though LOBO was considerate enough to ask me about hockey, the existence of Canada, and inter-species romance as well.

The results can be found at Predator Press, and include such exchanges as:

LOBO: Have you repented to your clergy for all the sex in The Amadeus Net yet? I tried to get my penance reduced by ratting you out about it, but the church was skeptical: rather than take my word for it, they ordered a case of the books to be distributed among the congregation for review. Now they are all blind, and their palms smell like Gillette. All of this could have been avoided with the simple use of a praying mantis. Are you an atheist Mark?

MAR: If you mean, do I believe in a “Magic Sky Father”, then yes. If you mean, do you believe in a “Cosmic Unconscious Fun Monkey,” then the answer is: maybe.

The whole interview is here. And you should check out the blog — it’s very funny.

The virtual tour continues with a stop on the other side of the pond at Neonbubble, conducted by Mark (the fake one, or actually the real one on his site).

While it can be confusing have one Mark interviewing another Mark (you might even say it could leave a mark, psychologically speaking), Mark does an admirable job of keeping us oriented (I almost said “on the mark”.) He also is quite interested in catering to his audience, which is composed largely of perverts, so the interview is laced with terms such as writing, publishing, and close-harmony singing. Disgusting!

If you haven’t had the pleasure of Neonbubble, you should definitely add it to your blogroll, or rss feed, or if you’re a pervert, your bookmarks.
