"I love comics. All I've been doing is reading every day, sitting in the house. Because I've not been feeling too good, so I've been reading and reading"
About this Quote
The intent feels practical, almost protective. Comics are portable worlds with built-in momentum; even when you are low, the story keeps moving. That matters in the context Mewes carries publicly: a career built on arrested-adolescent comedy, plus a well-known history of addiction and recovery. In that light, "sitting in the house" reads less like laziness than like containment. Staying put can be a choice. Reading can be structure. The house becomes a kind of harm-reduction space, and comics become the low-stakes, high-reward routine that fills the hours.
Subtextually, the quote nudges against the idea that comics are childish escapism. Here, escapism is the point - not as denial, but as self-management. It is a small, candid dispatch from a celebrity life that, for once, isn’t performative: just a person admitting that when you don't feel good, you find a story that will carry you until you do.
