Jorgensen, a self-taught freelance illustrator and Ringgenberg's close personal friend, holds forthright opinions on what is wrong with mainstream comics: formulaic storytelling, unrealistic depictions of violence, and thoughtless use of female characters. He traces his artistic influences from Neal Adams and Steranko through Barry Smith and the Pre-Raphaelites, critiques the fine-art academic world as full of failed artists, and describes Outrider, a fantasy/science-fiction/western strip he is developing with Ringgenberg that he plans to shop to publishers.
