I’ve always used Orneryboy as a cathartic outlet for my own brain weirdness. But since I’m not really capable of drawing upon all that “inner torment” and reflecting it in my art in any way that can be presented seriously, I exaggerate it and poke fun at it. Orneryboy is so ridiculous. He’s such a sarcastic, bitter, vengeful, cynical, angry, defensive, hostile, moody bastard. But people seem to relate to him, so maybe there’s still some hope for him yet. Maybe even me. sob
