Robert Kirkman Has No Patience For Your ‘Walking Dead’ Questions Or College Courses

If you weren’t aware, Robert Kirkman is a pretty fun interview. He shows off during this chat with Conan and it’s really entertaining. Not only is he funny, but he’s pretty blunt about his own career, the success of The Walking Dead, and his feelings about certain fans.

For Kirkman, his treatment of fans on Twitter who are constantly answering questions he cannot answer is a slice of fun. I like a guy who has a fun online presence that isn’t soaked in irony or outrage at every turn. Kurt Sutter is usually pretty entertaining for other reasons, but Kirkman having some real fun with his fan’s emotions is good. You’d think George R.R. Martin would be the same way if he had a Twitter as opposed to a Livejournal, at least before he was driven insane by the random eggs asking him to start writing.

The Walking Dead creator also has his thoughts about some of those college classes based on his show and others. Given the only one we’ve reported on was for free and online, there’s likely a few out there floating around. There’s plenty of philosophy books based around TWD and other TV shows, so a classroom experience wouldn’t be too far off.

Kirkman also shares his thoughts on the Negan toy bat that you can fill your child’s stocking with before he or she bashes your head in around the tree. And he admits that he has no other skills outside of writing and that the success of The Walking Dead was pure luck. If true, you don’t want the guy around when the world collapses and we’re all forced to survive. He’ll instantly become a slave in some sort of warlord’s stable, facing down the fact that his post-apocalyptic future was wrong.
