There's another one I want to read called, um, black hole.
I, cause, um, I told you I read Watchmen and I told David Silver, I was like, I loved this book. And he goes, yeah, it's considered the best graphic novel of all time.
But black hole, I think is a foot on what I've read.
It's a graphic novel about an STI that breaks out at a high school that makes you mutate and like grow limbs and stuff.
And so it's about like teenage sex STI stigma where people like grow second eyeballs, third eye, and so forth.

"
So that was my understanding of a title, but thankfully we picked a better title, I think. And now that gets to live as a chapter title, which is better for me, but I think it worked out for the best, but the title was pretty difficult to come up with. I'm just proud. I came up with it. I like an inflammatory title and loud still kind of probes. Absolutely. It would have been crazy to be like, my eyes are up here.
The duo follow story. Like, it's like what? Or like, you know, I like the idea of like a catchy title, but I do get that. That was a little dark. That's what they told me. I was like, especially with after having written the whole thing and the manuscript and everything, even my editor was like, I think that this title works in better context after you read it.
Like after you read it, you're like, oh, that makes sense because it's like satirical in its very nature. And he's like, but that's not like what you want a title to be. And I was like, all right, I guess I'll trust you man who works in publishing for 20 years. Guess I'll trust you.
I'm just proud. I came up with it. I like an inflammatory title and loud still kind of probes. Absolutely. It would have been crazy to be like, my eyes are up here.
But I was thinking in the same vein as like Jeanette McCurdy's book, which is like, I'm Glad My Mom Died. It's like, that's not necessarily true, but it's like catchy.
