National Minicomics Day!

Me, Frank Young, Paul Tumey and Paul's son Reid made the trip down to McCleary Washington to join minicomics master Steve Willis for Minicomics Day 2012! Great fun was had. Minicomics were produced on Steve's own personal photo-copier (true badge of an authentic mc master!)!  Ever since I first read Steve's comics over 25 years ago I've wanted to get together with him and do a minicomics jam. Now I can say that I have!

Harvey Pekar's Last Interview?

I love the first 45 seconds, in which Harvey enacts a final Pekar 1-pager for us. A month before Harvey Pekar died, Frank did a skype interview with him for a series of articles he was writing about the creative processes of comic book creators. Here are the first 7 minutes of that conversation.

We think this may be the last interview that Harvey ever gave.
