Me and Art
I greatly enjoyed doing 3 events with Art Spiegelman this fall for my book tour. He is truly one of my heroes. I don’t have too many of them. It’s safe to say I might not be doing comics at all if it weren’t for RAW and Maus. In his presence I’m aware of how much of a beginner I still am at doing comics and talking about what I do intelligently. I think I did fine during our conversation at Barnes and Noble, our panel in Philadelphia and on “Radio Times” on NPR. But I was taking mental notes. The man has this stuff down. It’s no accident he’s as successful as he is. It’s quite something to behold. NPR show is archived here. Transcript from the Philly event here.
