Daniel Robert Epstein: Daniel Clowes

Yay! I love Dan Clowes, very much.

Oh! My fucking hero! Great fucking interview with a brilliant fucking artist!!!!!!

Words cannot express how much I admire Clowes and his work. Now I know why Art School has been delayed. I'm glad they are going to give it a wider release.

yesssss

Great interview! As much as I love and respect his work, I don't think I'd ever want to meet him, because no matter how miniscule an interaction we had, I'd probably end up being made fun of in one of his books.

And what an honor that would be!!!!

Dan is one of my favorites ever..an underrated genius

Outstanding. One of the best interviews ever.

You think hes underrated?

He's just not massively popular.

Thanks for the interview, it was great.

David Boring and Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron are among my favorites.

I met him a few years ago at a friend's wedding and he never made fun of me!

A nice pair are he and his wife.

Just had a look at IMDb.com and there's no mention of a UK release date. Hopefully it won't be pushed back even further to avoid the 2006 Spring/Summer blockbuster season.

By the way, does anyone else find it virtually impossible to buy a copy of Eightball in your local comic book shop these days?

Yeah, there just doesn't seem to be variety anymore. And comic book staff will only order a specific title for you if it will sell to more than a handful of fans. They don't take a chance with independent titles like they used to.

I used to love Optic Nerve, too. But you would have more luck finding a cardinal who advocates contraception for all Catholics than you would locating a copy in the shops.

Comic retailer of the year (well, one year), found in Nottingham. They always have most everything he's written - its a real goldmine.

Thanks for the tip - I wasn't aware of this retailer.
