Gary Freeman has long enjoyed the output of local Detroit artists and the galleries that show them. He has written for English-language news publications in Thailand, appeared in and helped produce local low-budget indie flicks such as After the Blood Rush and The Amazing Cynicalman, has written a satirical novel on the funeral industry as well as numerous short stories and “minicomics,” the latter of which he encourages everyone, especially kids, to do because everyone encounters something interesting or funny every day and everyone can draw well enough for a minicomic.
