Kevin Wilson on NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO PANIC
\u201cIt's hard to be funny, you can't really plan on \u2014 you don't know what will land with people\u2026. absurdity just exists constantly in the world that we live in. And to my mind, the humor comes from the way different people traverse absurdity, how they try to normalize it, or how they freak out because they want to build their own weirdness on top of it. And so for me, that's where I get a lot of the humor, just the different ways that people respond to the absurdity around them.\u201d
