You okay Pendleton?

This article was about Pendleton Ward, the creator of Adventure Time. The article explains why he stepped town as show-runner of Adventure Time and how his life has changed ever sense the show was green lit. It explains how running the show did a number on him and how he couldn't go on with the stress anymore. The article is very descriptive of everything going on as Pendleton talks, explaining every thing they can to make him sound as depressed as possible. He goes on to say how his childhood consisted of him being a bit of an awkward kid, wanting to be nice but was considered an outcast. And the author draws parallels between his dark side being the Ice King, and Finn being his good side. Also, no drugs were consumed according to Pendleton, which...well...I'll let you and myself decide the truth behind that.
I thought this article was very very dramatic and I don't really know how much of this is completely true to be honest. I mean don't get me wrong I believe most of what Pendleton says, (besides the no drugs thing) but I feel the author of this article was trying their hardest to make Pendleton sound like a Suicidal shut-in. I mean, maybe he is really like that. But I really doubt he's even 80% as depressed in real life than they make him sound in this article. But I'll give the author some props, nice imagery in this passage there Neil.
