Scott McCloud Talks Life on the Road

In this interview with Chris Mautner, Scott McCloud reveals one more misson on his family's tour in support of his book Making Comics.

"We took all of our stuff, put it in storage. We have no home. One of the honest to god purposes of the tour is to see all 50 states and make a final decision on where we want to live. We don't know where we're gonna live. We're house hunting."

I always thought Scott was smart: if my parents had taken me around the country for a year before getting a new house, I would have been grateful to settle down anywhere. If they had just moved without a tour beforehand? Complain, complain, complain.

Most of the interview talks about the book rather than the tour, to be honest, and it's the first time I can recall someone from the traditional comics-criticism end of the funnybook field (Mautner's written for The Comics Journal for about a decade) dig in.
