Go, Read: Longish Mike Diana Interview

I may have missed this Mike Diana interview or it may be really new, I can't tell. I also can't quite figure out if it's just been a long time since I read an interview with the only cartoonist out there once sentenced to stop drawing, or if there really were a lot of stuff in the piece about which I had little to no idea. In this anniversary year for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, revisiting the events of one of their most famous trials with the man they were defending sounds like a fine idea -- if you're reading this somewhere where people might not understand all of the giant, stabbed penises appearing over your shoulder, you might want to delay your perusal or disable the images. I haven't read a Mike Diana comic in years, but I was always astonished how quickly free-speech defenders were to state they didn't like it. I thought Superfly in particular was a pretty good comic, and would certainly think about buying the collected Boiled Angel Diana talks about in the interview.
