NERRRRRRRRRRRRRD! vol. 196

 I would like you to remember that Alan Moore had a very dry self-deprecatory sense of humour, and often says over-the-top statements which are meant to be mockingly self-critical and ironic, and people who take them as straight text and quote them in that fashion are generally bad actors of one stripe or other.  So when Alan Moore talks to Stewart Lee about "The suppurating boil of my comics career". He is not being entirely serious. You think you might have been clued in when he says that he achieved some catharsis from writing the What We Can Know About Thunderman story and now has "less dark mutterings" about his time in comics, when in the bath.
