He's Not The Only One Who Didn't Completely Think Things Through.
Researching Farris Hassan (the "American teenager in Iraq") for a short Penny and Aggie piece. This interview is utterly fascinating to me, as it really paints a picture of the person-- not yet a man, not quite a boy-- who captivated the world for a few brief days with acts that were equally brave and foolish, unquestionably conscientious but not as reasoned as he occasionally insists. Aggie-watchers can see why I'd be interested.
My favorite part of the story, though, has to be the mistake that Hassan's best friends made when they tried to stop him. I won't spoil it for you now, but that's very likely to inspire a gag in the strip.
