About Sam Szabo
When Sam Szabo is not eating his boogers, he is drawing them in comic book form so that the world might know his shame. He is currently staving off adulthood in a reality-proof bunker deep in the heart of Oberlin College.
Each Brain Booger offers up four panels of mental detritus. It can be a memory, a desire, a regret, a dream, a song lyric, a non sequitur, a freudian slip, a malapropism, a hallucination, a twinge of fear or a kiss on the neck. Dang man, it can be all of the above, you know? You know what I mean?
