Go, Read: Simon Hanselmann Interview At AV Club

Oliver Sava has a lengthy interview up with Simon Hanselmann at AV Club. I'm sure there have been a lot of Hanselmann interviews, but I'm not sure how many of them have been done at kind of traditional places on the Internet one might see interviews with cartoonists. I don't know even know if that makes sense, but I'm sure a few of you follow me.

It's charming and funny, I think; that's also my sense of encountering Hanselmann in person. While it's supposed to be about various first times, and that material gets covered, there's a ton of stuff in there about right now, and how happy Hanselmann is being published at Fantagraphics and how much he enjoyed arriving on the scene and making it to SPX and doing things like hanging out with Charles Burns and making out with Gary Groth. It's great that as blasé as we can get sometimes about these matters -- particularly when you get older -- to encounter a cartoonist just waking up to the fact of belonging in that world and connecting with an audience and with peers.
