Go Read: Ville Ranta Interview

If you're interested at all in autobiographical comics, I'd recommend this interview with Ville Ranta at du9, even if you can only read it via an on-line translation. Xavier Guilbert draws out some interesting facts about the cartoonist's approach, such as how in Papa est un peu fatigue Ranta drew on a lot of comics-heavy journal pages but really worked with them and focused his inquiry rather than publishing essentially raw drafts. He also talks about working with Lewis Trondheim on a more standard album and how the ephemeral nature of web publishing, the ability to publish things temporarily, frees up what he can say.
