Craig, that is such a nice look back! And I love the King Cat you drew. And thanks for reminding me of Joe's drawing of Maria. Whoa. I've been teaching comics to the kids of today, and man, are they gonna blow the lid off this popsickle stand. I can't wait to see what happens in the next 10 years... Also, wow -- nice to see Habibi is coming along! Rock out, mister. These go to 11.

I just cannot help it, I was thinking of the comic festival in Haarlem, and cannot believe that I missed you in 2006! I wished you could be there this year! Love your work, you are a huge inspiration! Enough sucking up, back to essay writing. :) Take care! Dear Craig,

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 05:58:23 +0000 http://blog.dootdootgarden.com/2008/03/01/generation-xeric/#comment-2341 There's a rash of 90s nostalgia going around (I mean, more than usual. Who doesn't miss '95?) Rob Sheffield's book "Love Is A Mix Tape" had this nugget: "There's a lot I miss about the nineties. It was an open, free time of possibilities, changes we thought were permanent. It seemed inconceivable that things would ever go back to the way they were in the eighties, when monsters were running the country and women were only allowed to play bass in indie-rock bands." Maybe I'm naive, but maybe when we all wake up from this 8-year bad dream, some of the things that we all loved about the 90's will pop up again, like independent art spreading out to larger groups of readers/viewers/listeners without the quality of that art getting shitty/depressing. Isn't it possible that younger artists, writers, filmmakers can forgo bribing Kinko's workers and go straight to online media to get their work out there? Granted, I personally think the internet is mostly good for posting videos of cat bloopers, but there's possibility there. There's newness there. (Also, you get to keep the sixpack.)

I have always had a fascination with mini comics. I am completely in love with the diy ethic. I think it’s amazing to get something that has been hand stapled by the artist. There’s something to that that you can’t emulate. I would be interested to see some of your early attempts if you would ever be willing to share. Jason Nice post :)

What comics did you read before stopping reading comics? Did they influence yor work somehow?
