SETTING: A big city near the ocean.
The story really deals with human weakness and the difficulty many people face when trying
to stand up for, live up to, or come out for something they believe in. And that's pretty
much me in a nutshell - well-meaning as can be, but surprisingly lame when push really
comes to shove. Heroism, it would seem, is a tough gig.
As for the characters who populate Fat Pig, I love them all because they are so
desparately human - they want to have convictions but, in the end, they'd rather be liked
or get their needs met. They're not conventionally likeable, perhaps, but they're
absolutely recognizable as people. Actually, I don't ever worry too much about the audience
liking my characters or wanting to see them in a sequel or buying some merchandise related
to the show. Leave that to the movies. All I care about is creating individuals who are
interesting. Interesting and as complex as people are in life. I hope I've done that here.
