Wilbert L. Cooper
Wilbert is from a suburb of Cleveland where every street is a cul-de-sac named after a forest animal. He now works for us in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which is arguably even more homogenous and suffocating, but at least you can smoke pot on the sidewalk without getting hassled (just roll it with a little tobacco). Wilbert’s also working on a master’s degree in print publishing at NYU, which he keeps trying to tell us is not a joke, but we just keep shaking our head like “… This guy. This guy.” Hoping he catches on soon.
