How To Finish Your Comic Book: Drink More Shitty Vodka

To terminate the handwriting for his indie - music mage miniseries Phonogram : The Singles Club , funny Augustin Eugene Scribe Kieron Gillen took a refreshing approaching – he fuddle whatever the theatrical role in his comic drank . unluckily for Gillen , his grapheme thump swill .

Phonogram : The Singles Club details a nightspot night in which euphony magics – or “ phonomancers ” – dance , drink , and quibble about disk and illusion . Gillen excuse his “ method drinking ” approach in the supplement to the recently released trade softback edition of The Singles Club :

I generally write most of the first draft of any Phonogram hand intoxicated , and then edit it into bod sober ( i.e. I edit a lot ) . About half fashion through writing The Singles Club , I had a little psyche wafture . As well as my usual routine of compulsively listen to the records the lineament would like , I ’d become a method imbiber . In other words , drink whatever the character I ’m write would be drinking . For example , when I ’m manage with Laura , I ’d be throwing back bang-up swigs of the cheapest vodka from the street corner shop – which was fantastic motivation to get a move on with the issuing , just so I could terminate drinking the unsporting stuff . This had a few unanticipated consequences . For example , when start alco - popped up for Seth and Silent Girl ’s offspring , I did n’t realise the enormous feeding bottle of chintzy stuff were actually highly caffeinated . As such , I drop most of the nighttime twitching with chemical vigour . I never allege I was smart .
