Interviews

There’s an incredible wealth of articles in the ComixTalk archives: features and columns on craft, theory and business, insightful reviews and interviews with some of the most interesting folks in webcomics. We’ll be taking a regular look back at past issues and catching up with creators we’ve previously covered.

In our October 2003 issue on Halloween and other spooky subjects, contributor Bill Roundy wrote a popular feature story titled Satan and Webcomics. If you missed it go read it — we’ll wait until you get back. It’s a particularly great time to catch up with Bill because his new job at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA) has had a lot to do with webcomics recently.

Gisele Lagace is the creator of Cool Cat Studio and Penny & Aggie. On both webcomics, she currently shares the reins with T Campbell who scripts while Lagace handles the artwork. Lagace and Campbell recently announced the return of Cool Cat Studio, a webcomic I really liked during its initial year 2000-2001 run. And Lagace also recently quit her day job to do comics full-time. It seemed like a great time to find out more about Gisele Lagace so I caught up with her recently via email to talk about comics.

Can you tell us a little about yourself. Where you were born; where are you now?

Shayna Marchese is the creator of Voids, a webcomic about Sara, a young woman in New York City.  I like Voids a lot — it's a quiet comic that casts a careful eye on its main character as well as the city she lives in. I caught up with Marchese via email earlier this month to find out a little more about her and Voids.

Can you tell us a little about yourself? Where are you now: where are you from?

Krishna Sadasivam is the creator of the long-running tech-focused humor comic, PC Weenies. Sadasivam has been publishing his comic to the web for almost nine years and I caught up with him recently via email to talk about PC Weenies and his new comic Uncubed.

Whitney June Robinson is the creator of a wonderfully charming comic about an all girls school called Alma Mater.  The comic is written and published to reflect the school calendar with Robinson finishing up the first year of the story this past Spring.  With real schools opening their doors this month, Robinson recently kicked off the second year of Alma Mater.  It's a visually distinctive comic and Robinson does a fine job of drawing on her own life experience in crafting realistic characters and storylines for the middle school years.  I caught up with her recently over emails and asked about the upcoming year of her comic.

This year's nominations for the Best Digital Comic category of the Eisner awards is a strong group with a mix of styles and genres. Ryan Armand is a first time Eisner nominee and he got the nod for his webcomic Minus. Minus is a wonderful tale of a slightly mischievous girl named Minus and it features Armand's beautiful dream-like artwork.

Congratulations on the Eisner nomination. How does it feel to get this kind of recognition?

Thanks. It feels pretty good, I think? I don't think I've really wrapped my head around it just yet.

Michael Lalonde is the creator of Orneryboy, "a very domestic romantic comedy, set against a backdrop of slapstick horror." If you've never checked out Orneryboy it's a very funny comic focused on the relationship between Orneryboy and Dirtygirl (along with Orneryboy's misadventures with their zombie roommate Brian.)
