“I also had this idea–I’ll give you all the details, because I assume there are students reading this, and if you’re not a student, you can skip this part, because it’s incredibly boring. Someone told me once about this paradigm that exists: matriarch, patriarch, craftsman, and clown. It’s this quartet that resonates through history and popular culture, and you can find it as a diagram in everything from The Beatles to Leave It To Beaver to Seinfeld. In The Beatles, you can kind of see it the clearest. You know, Paul is the matriarch, John is the patriarch, the craftsman is George and the clown is Ringo. So I wanted to get that in there, and I thought, “Maybe that will be the four kids. I’ll do a show about four kids.” As it turns out, Michael and Lindsay would be the matriarch and patriarch. The craftsman, to me, is Buster, because he’s a scholar and he’s serious, and the clown is Gob, because he’s a magician, and clowns literally are magicians.”

“That contains my favorite music choice I ever did on the show, which was XTC’s “No Language In Our Lungs” for the getting-picked-last montage, just because that was something I definitely went through a lot in school, the horrors of getting picked last. So I really wanted that to be kind of an emotional thing. It was originally written to be kind of sad, but also funny, but the way Ken shot it, it worked really well. So we edited it together, we had the sequence, and I pretty early on wanted to put “No Language In Our Lungs” on it. I remember playing it, and Judd goes, “Oh, it’s just way too sad. We gotta get something else.” So I remember sitting around on the weekend with tons of CDs, and just trying every single song I could imagine, anything I could come up with on it. Nothing topped it. So I remember, finally, just saying to Judd, “We have to put it on there.” He was not convinced, and then, he brought in one of our editorial assistants, this woman, and played it for her, and she just burst into tears. And he goes, “Okay, let’s do it.””

“[…] I have a rule. When you write six pages, you turn it over and don’t read it until you’ve written the whole thing. A young person, any person really, has a hormone injected into their blood stream that makes them hate what they’ve just written. It gets better a few months later when you read it. Do it, write it, and turn the pages over and feel good about it. Then the next day pick up from where you left off. A lot of times when you’re writing you can get lost in making revisions to things that later you’re just going to cut out later. If you decide halfway through the character isn’t a man but a woman, then just change it later. But don’t go back. Go forward because you have no idea where it’s going to go. Let it tell you what it’s going to be.”

You’ve made it this far… six issues of carnage, fisticuffs and shoot ‘em ups. Our first arc is behind us but the story is far from over. This time around we take a chance to find out a little more about our Copra guys and gals. The story’s called “Personal Files” and it’s… well, I hate to describe it as quiet because someone gets shot, someone gets burned, and someone is violently choked (as opposed to gently choked). You get the idea: the title says it all.
