My Take
Discovering this is the creator of Scott Pilgrim made me grin. Bryan Lee O'Malley, out of London, Ontario, blended video games, music, and romantic comedy into something genuinely his own, a sensibility that conquered geek culture worldwide and earned a film adaptation. His repeated Humor and Shuster Awards confirm that wasn't luck. What I love most is that he also makes music under the alias Kupek, so a cartoonist literally playing songs feels like his comics come to life. That fearless leaping across mediums is exactly the energy his work radiates, and it's why he stays so endlessly cool to me.
