“There he was, standing in all of his 81-Points-in-one-game glory, wearing his blue and red NBA-approved sweat suit. The dimes fell from my hand onto the counter like copper and tin rain as I gasped out a meager, ‘Kobe!’

“Kobe, his one-man entourage and bodyguard all snickered unsurprised at my reaction as I fumbled around the counter to open the door. As I took out my keys I heard Kobe’s friend say, ‘That’s one way to get them to open up.’

“I opened the door and shook the hands of the three men as they entered the store and said, ‘Welcome to Lee’s Comics, how can I help you?’ I must have been working on some sort of autonomous shock setting as I spoke with Kobe, stunned that he was in San Mateo and in Lee’s Comics asking him, ‘So what kind of stuff are you into?’”

Also: A Kyle Baker audio interview.

“…I don’t know how one might go about writing an historical piece on blues musicians without dealing directly with the issue of race in America at the time. You can give ten intelligent, rational people access to the same one hundred books on a given topic and every one of them will develop a different picture of what that thing is. I took a hard, long look at the lives of blues musicians and the audiences they serviced from the period and this is what I saw. I make no claims to its veracity. It’s fiction.”

I think I may have written about this webcomic before, but this is the first I’ve read about it being developed for television.

“[Templar, Arizona is] such a strange comic… It would not exist if hadn’t existed in Web comics form, because nobody would take a chance on it. I could try a publisher, but I’m at stage where I don’t really need one. If I had one, it would be to simplify my life. It would have to be a publisher that would do all the advertising for me. All the small press publishers expect the creator to do their share of the footwork, and I already do that.”
