Rick Worley is the creator of A Waste of Time, a series of autobiographical comics in which he discusses the important things in life, such as cocaine, sadomasochism, and love. He lives in San Francisco because he used to live in Riverside and, let's face it, Riverside is bullshit. He divides his time between complaining about his life and lounging around with his vast legions of sexually submissive twink boy fans. They feed him grapes.
