Andrew Futral is primarily a musician. His band, Field Mouse, has toured with and played shows alongside some of his musical heroes, including Hop Along, The Good Life, The Anniversary, and Dr. Dog. His music can be heard in media such as Degrassi, Chicago Fire or Chicago P.D. (he can’t remember which one, but it paid $2,000), the video game Far Cry 5, Broad City, and many more.
He was raised by TV and, to this day, can’t sleep without it on. He began writing as a way to superficially look inward without doing any real work on himself and also to write jokes.
He is survived by a wife and daughter who grew fond of him in his later years. He is also not dead, unless you're reading this way in the future.
