Letter From The Editor: By Adolph Sloan Reader, Last issue was a financial fiasco. I declared bankruptcy, but I still have to print this newsletter as its my only possible source of income. In an act of desperation, I hired a famous cartoonist to redesign Extra, Extra! His name is Richard Scooperman, creator of the beloved Little Boys Room. His comic is published thrice-weekly on Internet. I’m paying an exorberant fee, but Scooperman promised this will make Extra, Extra! profitable. I hope so as my social security check is spent each month on printing this paper. Here now is an interview between me and Scooperman.

Q: Have you ever been in over your head so deep, you don’t think you’ll ever get out? No. Next question. Q: How does a cartoonist support himself in today’s dynamically changing digital landscape? I haven’t had to worry about money, even once. My family is rich as hell and I steal a lot. Q: Why did you even agree to do this in the first place? I want to spread the word about my comic, Little Boys Room. I’m also hoping to make a little extra money so I can buy a sword. I’m really into swords. You ever see Kill Bill? Q: Are you sure your consulting rates are non-negotiable? Yes. Don’t even try or I’ll kick your mouth. Q: Do you understand the mental anguish and financial stress you are causing to me? I didn’t at first, but I’m not opposed to it. Q: Can you refer any me debt consolidation services? You know what ‘being shanghai’d’ means? Q: Who is your favorite cartoon? Little Boys Room, you can find it on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and at LBRComic.com. Also Dragonball Z. Q: Do you ever dream about living off the grid, free from society and obligations? Sometimes, in my dreams, I feel the warm breeze of the Australian outback. I have a rickety, dust-covered old camper and prawn coking on the barbie. Melbourne is a full 3 days away and I’m taking my sweet time getting there. Then I wake up in North Dakota and I’m so sad, I draw a new comic. Q: What did you think of Jerry Seinfeld’s Bee Movie (2007)? Jerry Seinfraud is a dried out old drip who’s out of touch and should be sent off to pasture. Bee Movie was pretty good, though. Good message. Q: Longtime syndicated advice columnist, Pixie Sloan, also has a bonus question for you: Where do you turn for advice in today’s hectic, busy-busy world? I turn to the best comic on the internet, Little Boys Room, by me, Richard ‘Scooper’ Scooperman, now on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and LBRComic.com
