ruminations haters

Sure, Emo Boy is, as Emond puts it, "about a character
and a story and high school and being alienated and alienating yourself, about
silly stories and first loves (and a lack thereof), and finding yourself and
growing up and all that good stuff," but it's also about a wicked case of
schadenfreude.
"All I can say," Emond (who is currently contemplating whether he will
barricade himself in his apartment to listen to the new Weezer album over and
over) said about Emo Boy, "is that as much as it celebrates an emo kid , it
sure makes fun of him for it just as much! I get to parody bands and shows,
and I get to torture this poor little emo boy endlessly. What's not to love?"
Emo Boy #1 is scheduled for a June 2005 release.
