The first part of the Corben interview showed up in this issue. The expression on the face in the bottom right corner of the second page is reasonably close to what I felt like when I was reading it. He doesn’t come out and say it, but he’s just shy of being a full-blown Ayn Rand libertarian.

The interviewer is provocative in ways that he didn’t really need to be, but Corben never really says anything specifically damning. He mostly just comes across as cranky that he’s getting stupid questions that don’t seem relevant.

There are two more parts and a coda to this interview. Stay tuned!
