Jersey, USA.
I'm Kurt Vonnegut, without a single positive influence in his life.
I generated all my positivity from the inside and stand at the edge of my grave with a joke in my heart and a digit raised toward the sky.
I was going to submit My Comic Book Job piece to a memoir contest, but it became something else. It's only 7 pages, double-spaced, but if you tunnel down every linked rabbit hole,
it is "War and Peace" sized.

My Comic Book Job by Poloniousmonk
Biography & Memoir / 9 December 2023
Dear World, I got my first "real" job when I was fifteen. My mother was a high school guidance counselor and one of the English teacher's husband half-owned a comic book store and needed help. She asked my mother to hang a sign in the guidance office and moms grabbed it for me. It's always who, not what you know.
