Guilded Age

There was a lot of speculation about what Byron was drawing, and none of us creators wanted to step on it, but now it can be told: he’s just drawing his feelings. He’s absolutely a wreck right now but afraid that venting any emotions but contrition will lead to another berserker outburst, so he’s doing his best Paul Klee.

We could have made it represent the inside of the tubes, I suppose, but again, that wasn’t the direction we wanted to go. Maybe a map of Battleshire… yeah, that could’ve worked.

Ironic smash cut aside, Best likes Frigg significantly more than he likes the others, and not just because he gets sex out of her. Even though they both have tremendous egos, they’ve gone this long without stepping on each other’s because what feeds Frigg’s ego is just different enough from what feeds Best’s. They would not work as a couple, but neither of them is looking for anything long-term, which puts them even further in sync.
