b'\\u201cI hope people feel a different perspective on life after reading my book,\\u201d says Howell. \\u201cI inject a lot of philosophy and satire into my work. I consider myself an absurdist, which is basically a nihilist with a goofy mustache. My concoctions offer a made-up world so people can be happy and feel free to debate the ideas put forth in my work. I love to engage the reader with humor.\\u201d
\\u201cI\\u2019ve always been creating and making art,\\u201d says Howell. \\u201cIn elementary school, I doodled in class and did not take notes. Schoolmates weighed in on how I should develop the characters and storylines. I love consuming and sharing stories, and to express myself in a very visual medium is great for getting certain ideas across.\\u201d
