I went to the MoCCA ArtFest for the first time ever. Jon, our precious, precious codemonkey, said, “Awesome! Here’s a camera with no tapes, some sound equipment with dead batteries, and twenty bucks; go get us some interviews!” and then pushed me into the wide world that is independent comics. I wandered a bit and asked some folks if they would let me ask them some questions on camera. Surprisingly (and not ’cause they’re mean or anything, but because I’m a dork wearing a Batman t-shirt holding a camera), they all said yes.* Thanks to all these wonderful, talented creators for agreeing to be interviewed by a skinny kid with a microphone in his hand and a maniacal grin on his face (please, oh please let me ask you some questions! Jon will beat me if I come back empty-handed!)

*Well, all except Brian Wood, but he had some really good reasons; chief among them the fact that I’ve called him a Communist more times than I can count even though he so totally isn’t (did you know he sells comics? for money? that’s not Communist at all). So, I’d like to apologize publicly to Brian Wood for all the times I’ve called him a Communist, and hope that maybe, just maybe, he’ll grant me an interview next week at San Diego. Whattaya say, B-Wood?
