Swedish hedonistic cartoonist Simon Gardenfors joined me to discuss his new translated book from Top Shelf, 120 Days of Simon. Its a pretty fun journey of madness and unique look at Swedish cartooning.

Gabby Schulz joined me for a lively chat about his Eisner nominated book Monsters. I really really liked this book. Very much in the same vein as Justin Green, with cartooning that can’t be beat.

Dusty Peas aka Jamie Q and James Kirkpatrick are in town for an art show they are putting together at Lucky’s Comics this weekend. There collaborative work kind of falls into a style that i have a lot of love for. It was excellent to talk to both of them together about process, collaboration and more.

Part of my Toronto trip, was spent interviewing a couple of folks that who’s work is really exciting me right now. Michael DeForge is certainly near the top of my list of new creators doing amazing work. His first 2 issues of Lose have come out swinging with an eye for comics lore and stellar cartooning. This interview was conducted a couple of days before his much deserved Doug Wright award win. Go do yourself a favor and check out his livejournal for more info.

David Lloyd is making a quick trip to the west coast of Canada and that brought a great opportunity for me to have a chat with co-creator of one of the most formative influences on me as a comic reader. V for Vendetta is one of the those books that has a timeless quality that asks the tough questions that need asking. As a creator, David has been following through with a unique uncompromised vision, maintaining a minimal but strong output. His latest book, Kickback fell under the radar, but is well worth checking out, to see where his work has developed in time and what stories are important for him to tell.

David will be in Victoria on Saturday the 29th at the most excellent Legends Comics and in Vancouver on the 30th at the Vancouver Comicon at Main and 15th.
