Wonderful interview and to answer the question posed at the end of the interview, I read my comics both online and in the physical paper. I do prefer reading them in the paper, but online comes in very handy for the comics I love but my paper doesn’t carry (they only do DeD on Sundays, so I get the dailies online; they also stopped carrying Non Sequitor) and for when I can’t get a paper.

This was a fun interview. I headed over to Brian's site and sat there laughing to myself about the dog choking on a cookie crumb. I use to sit and laugh at my own dog when I was a teen because she did the same thing. She would cock her head to one side and make this awful "gack gack" noise, similar to when a human gets a popcorn shell stuck on his tonsil. Good job, guys.

I think this statement sums up what all of us in the arts have in common: “Everything happened fast after I created the strip. Of course there were many years of cranking out junk and piling up rejection letters.”

A great interview! His advice for future comics--"love what you do...never quit...be honest with yourself about your work and goals..." is spot on, and applicable for all of us creative types. Brian did a good job describing how he manages to balance his personal and professional worlds, especially since they are so interwoven. Kudos to Dave and Sean for the nice layout of this article. The illustrations added a lot of value. The headings and subheadings made it easy to follow the dialog; I like the way you used the hyperlinks within the text--not too many, and when used they were helpful.

What I like about this interview is that it’s not just about some obscure web-comic. It’s a great comic strip that I actually KNOW about.

Dog eat Doug has been in the Ottawa Sun for quite a while now (which has quite a large circulation). I’ve been following it for months, before I even knew about it on the Internet.

One day I hope to follow in Brian’s footsteps. Not sure if I can put out a daily comic strip, but I do want to get published one day. Even if it’s part-time free-lancing.

PS. I especially like the chocolate Lab. I think they’re more mental than the regular yellow or black versions!

What a great outlook:

‘I always said that if a comic strip makes only one person laugh, it’s a success.’

"Like many things in web-land, readers are just not going to pay to read a strip online." I wonder if this is eventually going to change or whether it's too late. Vered - MomGrind’s last blog post..Bloggers Who Quit
