I just came across a HUGE interview with Max Bemis about "Polarity." It is sprawling, and talks about his love of comics, the autobiographical elements of the comic, parallels between "Polarity" and "...is a Real Boy," and a lot more. Plus it has photos of his frankly outrageously amazing comic collection. One hell of a thing.
