Chances are if you’ve seen a comedy in the past five years you have seen some of Joe Lo Truglio’s fantastic post-State work. He has appeared in everything from I Love You Man to The Station Agent along with his continued hilarious collaborations with The State alumni including Wet Hot American Summer, Role Models, The Ten and Reno 911.
I first saw Joe when I was about 14 on MTV’s The State, and I’ve been a gigantic fan ever since. If you do not own the complete MTV’s The State box-set already, for the love of Mike, go buy it. In my humble opinion, it has held up very well.

1. How is it going? Oh, shoot! I wasted a question, this one doesn’t count!
11/2. Who does Joe Lo Truglio think is funny right now?
Couple weeks ago, I saw some lady get seriously upset because there was no balsamic vinegar in the Sony commissary. She was pretty funny.
2. Anyone who has visited your website has seen your great books, any plans to make more? Are any being published?
It’s been a while since I’ve drawn one of the books, but I hope to this year. We’ll see. None slated for the presses yet.
3. I know you are on the new show Sons of Tucson on the Fox Network, what else are you working on? Anytime for a vacation?
Well the new show Sons of Tucson is now an old show because they yanked it. Welcome to TV, a world where, unless you take your time slot immediately, you are worthless and weak. And a stinking piece of shit. Right now, doing a little writing, hanging out in the shark tower of my soul, ready to ring the bell when I see something interesting.
4. What is the strangest fan mail you’ve received? Any shark related stuff?
I don’t get a lot of fan mail, which is fine. A person from Poland and another from Czech Republic asked for a headshot. I told them I was very uncomfortable corresponding with countries that were once behind the Iron Curtain. Back in The State days, I got sent a bra once. I still wear it to this day.
5. Do you know any jokes about sharks… or whales?
What did the whore give the toolbox? Hammer head.
Dry Ink: Thanks, Joe!
Joe: Have fun in Hawaii, Jeffrey. Look out for active volcanoes.
