Simon Spurrier: "It's basically a chance for me to squeeze as many strange and frightening ideas into a story as I can. If there's not at least one oddity on each page I'm just not happy. It's also wonderfully cathartic to write: all this balls-out craziness that you'd never get to play with anywhere else in the world, and the excuse to target anyone who remotely annoys the central character with hideous ultra-violence — which is basically everyone. Lobster Random is the best fun you can have, on your own, with a keyboard... I can go absolutely albatross-flange-wibble with the settings, safe in the knowledge Lob is always there to hold it together, no matter how wacky things get." Thrill-Power Overload by David Bishop.
Lobster Random (narrating): "Showtime. Anyone squeamish, feel free to yak right off. I'd try telling you I only hurt scumflakes who deserve it, only I figure you're not as naive as you look. Truth is, I do this skav because I understand it and I'm good at it, and I can't do any-sodding-thing else. You want less ambiguous morality than that, I got bad news for you. Go look up the word 'reality'. Get yourself acquainted." 2000 AD prog 1482.
Lobster Random (warning the universe about his father): "Run and hide, kids. Run and fragging hide. He's out." The Forget Me Knot.
