I'm really glad it was satire!

He has a lot of drawing skill and it made me a little sad to see this hip-shallow-narcissism in his letters. Especially the "Well I'm done with you now kthnxbye" finale.

yes, the part of the idea was to poke fun at autobiographical comics done by self involved art guys still hung up on some girlfriend... like craig thompson or jeffrey brown. even though i like craig thompson, he is a whiner..

wait - you were there??

I like his style way more than jeffrey brown's clumsy doodles. Like a lot.

Ryan seemed so self-aware about it being displayed to the public made me wonder why he didn't just do do a Chester Brown if he wanted everybody to think about his premature ejaculation. Now the execution's kinda funny.

I was there around 6 or 7 and then I went to the brain that wouldn't die play. I had on my backpack, read pdx exposed binder, went around the exhibit, flipped through his books, but I didn't see you there.
