Something Cool Monday 12-05-05
Here we have tow interviews, both great, on artists I find very talented and entertaining.
The first is a real in-depth, career-spanning interview with comedian Patton Oswalt. It's his story of dealing with crappy clubs, moving to different cities and the comedy scenes there as well as his thoughts on the art of comedy. I love the fact that he's a guy who loves stand-up so much that he says everything else he does is just to give him more time and money to do stand-up, whereas with a lot of comedians it's the other way around. I would have to say that my favorite part of the interview is the posting of this photo from the early '90s. I like how they look like a meaner version of the cast of The Ben Stiller Show.
Even though Oswalt gives a shout out to Dan Clowes there real comic book goodness is going to be found in this interview with Joe Casey by Tom Spurgeon. Casey's a real talent and the interview these two did in The Comics Journal was great stuff so it was nice to see a sequel.
From the interview:
I don't care if it dates me...I think the 70's comics were better on quite a few levels that have nothing to do with how far we've all advanced in our craft.
That I certainly agree with that! I like how Casey is keeping the spirit of those comics alive in Godland which is one of the best superhero comics you can read right now.
Read on, folks!
