Interview: 7030 @ The Weirding

The Weirding got Frisky Dingo co-creator, 70-30's Matt Thompson, to truly open up and talk candidly about the new [Adult Swim] show.

In a hard-hitting piece of news journalism that would make Bawbwa Wa-Wa cwy, Matt discussed life, death, and the burgeoning sexuality that accosts all young people when they first smell the signs of [wo]manhood. He laughed and cried and told us what he thought he had learned about life, love, and The Universe.

But then we cut all that shit.

The Weirding: How y'all durn? How's your mom and them?

70-30: Aren't you sweet! Thanks for asking. My "mom and them" are "durn" well, thank you. Currently they are attending night school to work on their grammar and diction. As we all know, people misusing the English language is a rampant epidemic in our country right now.

The Weirding: I once dated a girl what had a diction. Awesome X vs. Brock Sampson. Where's your money?

70-30: I think Brock might give Mr. Crews a serious curbing; Xander is not the toughest kid on the billionaire block. However, I defy Brock to beat him at managing a worldwide conglomerate! It simply cannot be done.

The Weirding: Who would win in a rage in the cage match: you or Matt Maiellaro?

70-30: I am pretty sure I could take him as long as there were no weapons in said cage. Matt has a dark side - full of metal and guns and blood. You give him access to his stash of weaponry and it is over faster than you can spell Maiellaro. Which, come to think of it, might take a while - but you get the idea.

The Weirding: Were you a comic book kid and do you read comics now? What did you read then, and what do you read now?

70-30: I am a comic book kid. Thanks for asking! I grew up reading X-Men, Fantastic Four, and the Hulk. I recently started reading comics again as the guys at 70-30 populate the bathroom with comic books. Since they buy them, I don't feel the shame of being 37 years old and walking into the comic book store while my kids wait for me out in the car.

I am reading Green Lantern, Justice, New Avengers, Ultimate Spiderman, and Civil War. Also, our head animator, Mack Williams, recently brought in a comic book he wrote in the 9^th grade called Super Spheres. That's lumped right in the ol' reading rack with the other books. I know he was in 9^th grade when he wrote it, but it is really, really bad. We were thinking of firing him, but are now afraid that he might come back later and shoot us all.
