3:57AM - Chester Brown

I was lucky enough to be able to take advantage of the fact that Chester Brown was on doing a tour across Canada to support the soft cover release of Louis Riel. Chester came into the studio to sit for an hour while Colin and I quized him with many questions about his body of work. Chester is by far one of Canada’s comix legends. His auto-bio works, I Never Liked You and Playboy, are both hallmarks of cartooning achievement at its best.

5:00AM - Post SPX hangover

hey there Everybody,

I am still recovering from my trip to NYC and SPX, check out Robin Bougie's blog for a partial recap of our trip in NYC. I bought alot of good stuff from some of my favorite creators. number one on that list is Anders Nilsens new book, Don't Go Where I Can't Follow, his memorial tribute to his fiance and celebration of their relationship.

Number two- Kevin Huizenga's new collection, Curses. its an awesome collection hard to find Glenn Ganges stories from anthologies and the first issue of Or Else.

Dan Zettwoch's Iron Clad was a nice find, a hand put together peice of awesomeness. check it out Yo'.

And this week on the show(tmrw) i will be joined by none other than Chester Brown, creator of Yummy Fur, Ed the Happy Clown, Louis Riel and much more. Chester is a legend in canadian comix, and this is going to be an excellent interview oppurtunity. www.citr.ca at 2pm pacific time. we may even be able to have people call in with questions.
