I was very concerned that President Bush is still trying to frighten or scare the American people with respect to the condition of the Social Security system. ↗
And when Roger talks about the frightened ones running away from the bombs, I immediately thought of my days when I was young and I had to wear these gas masks. ↗
So, I created these creatures called The Frightened Ones which in the film you see do have mask like kind of heads and they run beneath the ground to hide. Which is what in fact we did during the war. ↗
