  1. I keep trying to convince myself that I enjoy Jodorowsky comics.
    I try so hard.
    I just can’t separate him from his films, and I love his films so much more.

  2. Rumor has it that Jodorowsky came up with the ending of Akira while he and Otomo were so drunk that Jodorowsky doesn’t even remember it.
    I wish his comics had endings that good.
    Or, in most cases, an actual ending at all.

    Now I feel bad.
    El Topo is my favorite movie.
