I am a huge fan of his. In fact, I bought one of those three copies of Scream Queen. His work is great and I’ve been waiting for any word on his new projects like Godhead for a while now.

You know, I was reading his old Comics Journal interview from 1994 ‘ The Black Issue’ just a couple of nights ago. Comparing that to this interview, I have to say that he sounds refreshed to a degree with comics. Also, this interview went a longer way in confirming the Chaykin connection I’ve always seen in his work.

In closing, to the poster(s) who said that he sounds like an idiot or irresponsible, consider this: Cartooning is a selfish mistress that demands passionate love and attention to fully appreciate its rewards; of which there are few. Therefore, don’t get into cartooning expecting to make ‘Peanuts’ money. Those days have long past. Do it for the freedom and horizons of singular expression that comics offer.

And I agree with Anja Flower about just tossing out that “give up now” nonsense. You don’t know who’s going to read/hear your words and take them to heart. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was a kid and then some dumb-as-rocks vet told me it wasn’t worth it and I gave up my dream, thinking I must be an idiot to want to be something that even a vet didn’t think was worth the trouble. I may have been the vet who figured out how to save a horse like Barbaro, but thanks to the thoughtless remarks of one vet, we’ll never know.

I don’t know this guy Ho Che Anderson from a hole in the ground (comics ain’t my thang–I got here by googling “my drawing pen”), but reading his words here, he sounds like a grade-A idiot to me.

That said, he is a -great- ink artist.
