Funniest black humor since In Living Color.
: Dear Kevin,
: I was listening to the Howard Stern interview you did May 31 about Clerks:The Cartoon and you seemed really dissapointed with it. Not just the reviews, but the show itself. I thought it was a bit awkward in the beginning, and it didn't follow an order in certain parts, but then i realized that's what i'm use to seeing in shows on television. But I loved the episode and especially the ending(did dante win the case? the korean animators didn't seem to carry the plot). It was originality that put Clerks (The Movie) on the map. It wasn't your typical love story or two guys whining to get their girlfriends back, it was an attack on life(a very humourous one at that) and the shit-hand it deals us, like when our girlfriends dump us or have sex with dead guys. I was impressed nonetheless with the cleverness, individuality, and downright landmark humor that's made your work great, and the show succeeded in where the reviews put it down, but in there own way. To make my point clearer, the post was right. It's not Beavis and Butthead, it's not (thank god) the p.j.'s, it's not South Park, and heck it's not even King of the Hill. No it's Clerks: The Cartoon.
: Thanks for the hours of enjoyment, laughter, and inspiration Kevin, and keep doing those crazy things you do,

: P.S. Not that it's entirely important, how'd Mr. Stern like the show?
