 In a very crazed accelerationist world, I am trying to stay funny and sane. Patton Oswalt grew up in Sterling, Virginia, mining stand-up material from the movie reviews of my pal, Arch Campbell. I have since met him and loved him. Look, there is a very grudging affection for him. He was so himself that he gave me something to rebel against. I am happy that he was a worthy foe.
