"The interview you and I did a few years back still strikes a chord with me. It may have been because of such lines as "I think myths, folktales and religion are great sources to pillage for fiction booty...""

Tim,

I loved doing that interview with you, not only was it fun, but man did it stir up a little snit twister.
There was one bit of correspondence that I don't think I ever forwarded to you. It was an enraged email from an established comic book artist, who was furious that I used "folktales and religion" in the same sentence, as if to imply that religion was as dismissable as folktales. I think my response was: "I didn't mention a specific religion." I pretty much got an two word "F&%k you!" email as a response.
If you ever want to do another interview let me know. I promise I'll cause less trouble this time. With me, I guess that's like a politician promising to lower taxes.
Keep up the great work.

PS Has anyone heard if the features on this website have an ETA for becoming functional? I think this is a great idea and would hate for people to just give up on it.

Best,

Chris

So be sure to drop me a line when your next project is close to release. Cause as much trouble as you want, as far as I'm concerned. As for your PS question, I think comicspace is getting hit with a slew of requests. If you go to the front page, they are doing a fairly good job of explaining where they are at in terms of implementing aspects. Thanks for swinging by here, Tim

"Love the Punch and Judy books. Will be on the lookout for your other books."

Thanks Joel, coming from you that means a lot.

"Eisner worthies:
Gemma Bovary by Posy Simmonds (or was this out last year?)
We Are On Our Own by Miriam Katin
Do Not Go Where I Cannot Follow by Anders Nilsen."

Thanks for the suggestions, and I'll be sure to check them out. You forgot one of my favorite books of the year; "IronHide Tom." Seriously, that book was killer.

I do have this small globe-shaped empty space on my bookshelf. Seriously, though, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you liked IHT!
