There's a nice long interview with Lynda Barry over at Comics Reporter. Barry rocks majorly, having drawn Ernie Pook's Comeek for many years, and she is now touring a new book, What It Is, about the creative process, published by Montreal's Drawn and Quarterly. She talks about the collapse of the alternative newspaper cartoon market, and how her comic has gone from 70 to seven papers. She's now selling original art on ebay to pick up the slack, and you can buy it! Search on Shop_Super_Marlys at ebay. It's like $85 bucks per meditatating monkey! Honestly, it's the best bargain around! Buy one and be adored by your grandchildren! (Image lifted from Drawn and Quarterly.) Douglas
