Interview: Curt Pires - It’s Only Teenage Wasteland - December 07, 2022 - FOC November 14

This is an unconventional dystopian story, I’d hate to ask you for the pitch so I’ll take a stab at it, Ferris Bueller meets Warriors meets Max Max, accurate?
Was breaking the fourth wall always in the cards or did it come organically while you broke story?
You’re using an unconventional scene direction/detail format with big black boxes with white text, why did this work for the book?
What made now the right time for this series!
There’s a character named Fogelman, a person who became a friend due to those being cruel to him, did you have a Fogelman in your life in high school?
lorn Michael’s said in a recent interview, saying the 4 years you're in high school are the longest years of your life. You have no money, no car, and just staying up late with friends was a really exciting thing. And thus, folks say the best cast is the years they were in high school…skipping the last bit, is there truth to that?
Part of the magic of teenage wasteland is the group dynamic, how did you come to this specific group?
The art by Jacoby Salcedo is impressive with a detail with character acting that’s tops, what has it been like working with him?
Something I really like with this series is the pace, and it’s never holding back details but goes for it, are you ever pondering “this could work even better as a slow burn?”
The title reminds me of The Who, was that track on repeat while writing this?
The sister is specifically not yet 18, given the title is that important?
