Sweet Tooth #26

[cyberghostface]

"I feel like the reason post-apocalyptic stuff is so popular right now, and maybe I am wrong, but I feel it's because we all look around and see what a fucking mess the world is in, and the terrible things that we're doing to one another. We know what's coming -- and it may be some variation of this. It might not be cool and dramatic like 'Walking Dead' or 'Sweet Tooth,' but we're not heading in a good direction. We see that, and maybe these types of stories provide a little escape.

But yes, for me, I really feel like we're fucking up right now. And yes, that's what 'Sweet Tooth' is basically about. I don't hide that at all. I think we've messed up, and I think it's too late. I know that's a sadistic thing to say, but at the end of the day, if things are getting so bad and they're only going to get worse, what do we have? What we really have is each other, and that's also what's 'Sweet Tooth' is about. I guess that's just how I feel about the world." -- Jeff Lemire
