CIR Interview with Rich Vernadeau

CIR and MERGATROID Interview
What is C I R (Crazy Insane Radio) and the three spin-off series that sprang from it, Mergatroid the early Years, Mergatroid After Dark, the Future Hope? RICH: Well, it's the story of many different characters or key players, their triumphs and tragedies. For instance, it's the story of Lt. Skitters and the investigations he does and what happens to him. It's the story of the Mergatroid serial killer, Flashy the paper doll, Judy Vincenni, Sharon Cielo and a number of other figures over the span of 26 seasons and various time periods. Some of it is presented in linear order but a lot of it is presented in fragmented narrative, not in chronological order. This presentation is by design. Think for a moment of the various storylines, a war between humans and paper dolls, a cosmetics CEO who becomes a vampire and travels to an alternate reality, a skateboarder who travels through time, and those are just a few of the storylines. And while each season can pretty well stand alone on its own, everything is interconnected and referential to past and future episodes. In fact I'm currently working on an encyclopedia of characters, places, and events in CIR. And a season-by-season episode guide as well.
