Eddie Campbell
joined the Inkstuds to discuss his latest book, The Amazing Remarkable Monsieur Leotard. Eddie was on last summer, so this interview gave us chance to ask some previous unanswered questions and more. I am a longtime fan of Eddie’s work, and his latest work is his most vibrant yet.

The animation night with Deitch was a roaring success. Many thanks to everyone that came out. The room was so full, that some people had to stand in the back. Marv Newland and Kim Deitch were both excellent speakers and shared some wonderful stuff with the audience. I think everyone was especially thrilled by the Krazy Kat porn cartoon from 1927.
Here is pic of George Metzger, Kim Deitch and Marv Newland from the end of the night.
In preparation of the Comix and Stories event at the Vancouver Art Gallery this Sunday(the 24th 11am-5pm – FREE), I was joined by Verne Andru and Steve Rolston to talk about some of the work that they will have available, and why people should go. Verne has a long history in comics, going back to the early 70’s with work on Captain Canuck. Since then, he has taken a different direction and introduced the world to Captain Cannabis. Steve Rolston is one of my favorite folks in Vancouver. His pages are some of the slickest I have seen. I am really excited to read his Minx book, Emiko Superstar, which will be out in the fall.

Robin Enrico is one of the folks putting out some fabulous self published goodies. His storytelling is really smooth and fun to read. I picked up one of his books at Stumptown and inhaled it. You should read his stuff as well.

The master of all things Arf, Craig Yoe, joined the Inkstuds for a talk about his wide range of great books. Craig’s books create a fuse of obscure cartooning with “high†art into wonderful package that is solely unique within the sequential medium. Arf is like a history book in comic that you have never heard of that you want to see more of. And his book, Clean Cartoonists’ Drawing Dirty, is filthy fun.

Scott Chantler joined the Inkstuds to help finish our month long focus on Canadian cartoonists with style. His book, Northwest Passage, is a fine look into an important point in Canadian history with a two-fisted flavor.

Chris Von Szombathy Joins us to discuss his book, Fire Away. As a part of the Petit Livre series from Drawn and Quarterly, Chris’s book is an outstanding collection of beautifully rendered pop-culture rejection. Not only is Chris a talented artist, the music that accompanies the interview is also by him as well. Check out Audio Ahdeo Awdio and Tour De Fours.
