Pencil For Your Thoughts

Good luck finding anything typical in Fishboy's world. According to Little D, the sophomore album from his Denton lo-fi pop quartet, his world is made up of Christmas trees that come back to life, Game Boys that get lost at the beach and nonstop high-fives with his Chinese friends. Even better, his Web site and promotional fliers are smothered in zany comics that put Napoleon Dynamiteto shame.

Until then, jump into toon-Fishboy's sweet Impala and cruise through our co-authored comic-strip interview.
