CD: And then you get a hat. It’s funny but in a lot of ways, that really made me think. We’re willing to give up so much information online that we would never give up in the real world. In the real world, if someone was like, “Will you let me call everyone in your phone book and tell them about Domino’s?” You’d be like, “No, that’s crazy!” Online, people do that all the time.

CH: It’s like, after you take a quiz in real life, you want to tell literally everyone you ever met — your aunts and everyone — that you took that quiz.

MP: I took your stupid quiz. I know which character I am in Lord of the Rings and I want to go.

CD: Where do you store ideas as you come up with them? Do you have a list?

CH: Matt can show you the Evernote that just keeps getting longer and longer.

MP: Yeah. I wrote down “Seinfeld-type plot with a ticker of deaths, worldwide, in the corner.” It’s really mundane, but it’s like, these are the people dying all over the world. Or, I wrote “The Ebola has been contained to a single theater company on the Lower East Side.”

CH: I write in longer form, so have pages and pages of sentences. This is how I start writing cartoon ideas for the New Yorker, basically long, long sentences. A lot of these never even make it to the draft phase of drawing a rough one, but then, I try to keep track.

CD: This notebook is all your ideas. There are math equations, drawings, comedy ideas. It’s all in here. This is almost like a storage system for your whole brain.
