About the only thing I wish you had pressed him on a bit was this quote:<br /><br />"There aren’t enough comics dealing with the real stuff. I think young cartoonists are afraid of it... or consider it passe compared to drawing comics about how fucking hip they are. There needs to be at once a divestment of ego and an investigation deeper into it. We need to push past the self congratulatory, self sycophantic, ironic construct that indie comics has become, and try to play with the big boys."<br /><br /> I wanted him to name names.Rob Cloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671203398083374216noreply@blogger.com
