Transcript

Mao: Hello citizens of *cough*? can't do that. Hey my name is Mao and I'm interviewing the great creator of Asperchu, Alec.

Alec: Good evening Mao, how are you doing?

Mao: I'm doing fantastic, anyways..

Alec: That- that's great

awkward pause...

Mao: Yeah this is not gonna work *they both laugh* anyway *Alec says they need to be prepared* so I got some questions for you, just some quick questions that fans always bother me with.

Alec: Well well you know I'm always happy to answer questions from my fans without them I wouldn't be where I am today.

Mao: Wha- why do you think you’re so popular?

Alec: Well I think umm there’s several reasons why I am popular. Uhh first and foremost of course because I’m umm a very talented artist, and umm I’m very good at story telling. Umm but almost on par with that I am certain is that I care about my fans and I try to include my fans in the creative process, and uhh I am very responsive and respectful of my fans and uhh that’s actually probably the favorite part I have of the entire Asperchu experience is responding to my fans or critiques and compliments. More compliments than anything else really.

Mao: That’s great it’s always nice to have someone who like actually cares about their fans instead of ignore them outright or just stop doing their work.

Alec: Yeah, you know I’m just here to.. I have a gift and umm if you don’t share your gift with the world then it goes to waste, and that’s just a terrible thing so I want to share that with as many people as I can.

Mao: S’great. Another really popular question is who is your favorite character?

Alec: Oh why you know umm I get asked this almost everyday and it’s a very difficult question. Of course Jivin jumps to you know the top list pretty quickly, he is definitely one of the fan favorites I probably get more letters about him than anyone else. Umm.. also umm I I like Jarman Gand who is uhh who is the dog that appears in my comic umm I recently Uhh I had I had Christian Weston Chandler claim that was his dog Patty. I’d like to issue a uh a clarification, that is not actually Jarman gand is named after uh a norse God of terror and destruction. Whereas patty is based off of Mr. Chandler’s deceased dog they’re totally not the same dog at all.

Mao: Well speaking of Christian Weston Chandler, he’s been a vocal critic of Asperchu uh do you have a message for him or anything?

Alec: Well I’d just like to say that um you you know a lot artists have to face criticism and detractors. Um uh honestly because of envy I think is it you know Chris was actually he was a big inspiration for me in the beginning and I wrote to him numerous times to tell him how uh inspired I was and how thankful I was that he and Sonichu were around to inspire me to greatness. The vast majority of those letters went completely ignored. In one or two instances he did respond mostly to either threaten my life or tell me he was sending the FBI to imprison me because I was attempting to be a good artist. Um I havent responded with my own videos mostly because I don’t really have the time. I spend my time working on my comic uh I’m not sure how Chris finds the time to upload so many videos threatening my life and other such acts of violence and anger, but you know, to each his own to each his own. If that’s what he feels he needs to do to make Sonichu the best that he can then um you know I certainly won't criticize that tactic. I prefer to draw my comic, I prefer to draw my comic and to listen to and respond to my fans. That's how I make Asperchu better, but you know again to each his own and every artist has his own process.

Mao: Well I would like to thank you again for uh you know giving up some of your time to do this interview.

Alec: Well you’re welcome like I said like I said um my fans come first and I know a lot of my fans want to know more about me and I’m happy to help them out.

Mao: And finallyvuh do you have a message to all your fans?

Alec: I I certainly do, I would just like to say that without my fans, I would not be where I am today, and I am thankful for each and every true and honest fan out there that has stuck with me from the beginning and I hope you will all continue to stick with me because Asperchu is.. Can only keep growing.

Mao: Thank you.

Alec: You’re welcome.
