Dealing with lunatics (11:00 am)
Via Chris (aka the estimable Kit Brasch, here’s a fascinating post about dealing with a lunatic. Basically Tasha Robinson wanted to interview Dave Sim (creator of Cerebus, whose last issue is about to come out, and who has gradually gone insane during his nearly-30-year stint doing the comic) for The Onion’s AV Club (the non-satirical arts/entertainment reviews section of The Onion). I can only recommend you read it to discover the intricacies of, well, any kind of conversation with the man…
However, it’s nice to see in her quick updates that the interview (by fax) is coming along very nicely, and it sounds like it’ll be a must read - as much for good comics reasons (Sim is, despite his, er, eccentricities, still one of the greatest comics craftsmen/artists there is) as for his weird politics and roundabout reasoning.
