To begin, Chris Bliss quotes Gregory Rabassa's 'If this be treason' in stating: "every act of communication is an act of translation." Bliss links this basic understanding when he discusses his interest of understanding knowledge and communicating it to others from a very early age. Chris Bliss describes comedy as something that travels on a distinct wavelength, "somewhere between poetry and lies" on an arbitrary spectrum. In essence, Bliss says he turned to comedy in order to better communicate the ideas that he was gaining.
