“Disgusting and without socially redeeming qualities, [OOTG]’s the herpes-ridden juvenile delinquent of all periodicals.""
--Charlie Huston, The Shotgun Rule published by Ballatine Books
"They call it out of the gutter because it's not going back in that gutter anytime soon. It's on the loose and baring teeth and ready to tear a new hole into the stuttering heart of literary decorum everywhere."
--Wayne Alan Brenner, The Austin Chronicle
"[OOTG’s} stories are nicely separated in sections of
5, 10, and 20-minute reads. I keep OOTG#1 in the bathroom and OOTG#2 in the living room. Highly entertaining for those with a strong stomach. Very well written."
--Jason Thibault, Optimum Wound Comics

OTG does not believe in heroes. The concept of the hero is a cultural construct designed to mythologize a human ideal that cannot be achieved by "real" people. Throughout history, these icons have been used to enslave societies and force citizens to attempt to replicate the inane performances of their so-called heroes. ---- On second thought, this is AWESOME and here are some of our heroes: Hunter S. Thompson, Jesus, Mussolini, Stephen Colbert, Screech, Laura Bush, Captain Ahab, Pamela Anderson's plastic surgeon, Sir John Falstaff, Paul Marcarelli, Dante, and Joseph Goebbels.
