## Resource

John is a prolific comics writer and artist, and the creator of Scary Go Round, Bad Machinery, Giant Days, and Solver. We sat down to play Not a Tabloid, an interview game about an overworked, underqualified tabloid writer trying to guess why they're interviewing their peculiar suspect. It goes places.
