interviewer: um.y’know, what’s going through your mind when you see all these pictures yknow people tweeting you people showing you picutures, they have the logo they have the boozey. what’s going through your mind when you see that?
frank: um. it’s totally rad. the boozey thing is crazy to me because, it’s this character I came up with umm…. that I started [laughs] it’s kinda funny. basically the story behind boozey is: oh god. so boozey he’s this drunk ghost and uh basicallyI was on tour with my chem and uh. gerard ended up uh yknow he was developing his own comic which ended up becoming umbrella academy and so he had this meeting with dark horse and…
I may have gotten a little tipsy, and I may have crashed the meeting and said “i’ve got a comic book idea” and so I was like i’ve got this guy and I drew boozey it was like it was I think it was funny at the time but I was probably way too obnoxious and have apologized since. [laughs] but that’s where boozey came from. like i’m gonna pitch this comic.
[laughs] you’ve been working for years on this thing… but wait just check this thing out real quick. and all of a sudden boozy started to be this thing and I would draw him everywhere he was like this character that i’ve been meaning to expand upon for the longest time
“To whom it may concern, Peace has been lost and found around and around too many times to count. the world is a complicated place, and people are complicated beings. All we truly long for is to love and to be loved in return.
If there is something out there more important than affecting one another positively through love and acceptance…I hope I never find it.
