Crazy People

The McCloud family works for Comic Book Resources, and part of what they do is travel around the country interviewing comic artists. Recently, they've started a series of "Winterviews" that are conducted by their 11-year old daughter Winter and almost totally recorded and edited by their 13-year old daughter Sky.

Back in October they interviewed Jeffrey Rowland, author of my two absolute most favourite webcomics Wigu and OverCompensating, and a general all-around cool guy. You can watch his Winterview here.

Last week the McCloud's released a new interview with R. Stevens, author of the Diesel Sweeties webcomic (which, while not my favorite, is one that I still enjoy from time to time). You can watch it here.

Neither of the Winterviews are awe-inspiring, but it's fun to see grown people trying to figure out how to react to being interviewed by a 11-year old girl. Also, it's well worth the look into the secretive world of self-employed webcomic artists-slash-t-shirt entrepeneurs (it still amazes me that some people make most of their living by selling stuff on the internet).

I don't know if the problem lies with my internet connection or with the server hosting the Winterviews, but when I try to watch one it doesn't always load properly, and even when it does it loads slowly. Be warned, but don't let that stop you from enjoying them!

PLUR!
