I like how you still made that asshole face at the end for no reason. :) Couldn't leave that out, huh?

My teacher actually did the same thing when me and my brother were drawing mutilated people in school. She worded it in a less interesting and memmorable way though.

I made it just for you Mark!

I think McMillen is simply one of the greatest artists so far. Can't wait for Gish 2

Thanks, Edmund! Christmas came early this year.

Remarkable! And a very tempting (apparently modestly priced too) cry for help.

Sadly, the whole beard is gone now :(... i actually have a tan line where it used to be.

Congrats, man. No joke, I'm happy for you.

I'd love to see Edmund do something more lovecraftian oneday.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the video! Edmund was really great through the whole process, once we convinced him he had to wear pants.

I hope you all find it as interesting to watch as we did to make.

Thanks for the link, Tim! And thanks again for taking the time to talk with us, Edmund!
