Grab your headphones, kids, because I’m a guest on this week’s geek-themed installment of Eugene Ahn’s fantastic podcast, The People You Don’t Know! I’m in the second half of the show, following up Rob Bricken of Topless Robot, and while I’m not sure if you guys will enjoy hearing me shoot my mouth off for half an hour about Dave Barry and my checkered freelance writing career, I had a great time doing it. Eugene and I hit it off pretty well, and within a few minutes of talking about Tom Scharpling’s Best Show on WFMU, we were talking like pals. So please, give it a listen.
If, on the other hand, you’re a PYDK listener just checking out the ISB for the first time, here’s the basic rundown:
I’m Chris! I read a lot of comics, and I try to write something funny about them every day, although I really only succeed at that maybe 30% of the time. I’m probably most well known for this and this, although I’d like to be known for this. I’m 26, I twitter quite a bit, I like it when people kick each other in the face or fight bears, and I consider this to be the finest work of art ever produced:
That’s pretty much the basics. Enjoy!
I’m going to use this entry for a new pull quote for the show:
PEOPLE YOU DON”T KNOW!
“Fantastic…only…30% of the time!”
-Chris Sims of the ISB
I suggested he interview you, Chris. This is a fact.
@LD – I actually mention your name in the interview. True story.
And you STILL get interviewed. Its all who you know. Can a brother get a break here?
Props on the Best Show chatter. Best Show on WFMU is the reason the internet was invented.
Speaking of people fighting bears I’m amazed you haven’t mentioned the first issue of the Buck Rogers comic yet. Not just Bears but CYBORG Bears!
Great interview, Chris. Really enjoyed it.
You’re also known for the Annotated Anita Blake… just saying, is all!
Great interview. I get why ISBRadio was too big a pain to keep doing, but I thought they were fun. If you’re going to conquer every form of media known to man, like some viral Alexander, you might want to drop another of those someday. Or do video! Like those guys who did those Batman home movies!
I mostly know you for the face-kicking.
I like that you’ve added a dramatic tilt to The Greatest Comic Book Page In History.
You forgot, Sithe, that the gun was almost Liefield-sized.
Congratuations on your continued fame, Mr. Sims.
I’d think you were best known for face-kicks and for Civil War/ Infinite Crisis in 30 Seconds.
