I published this interview* with cartoonist
Dan Clowes in
Hypno magazine in 1994. Clowes, at this point, was between issues #12 and #13 of
Eightball, and had just begun the "Ghost World" series which would be made into a movie seven years later. What's really interesting here is how foggy his conception is of how Ghost World would develop. Other topics of conversation include the weirdness of Harvey and Whitman Comics, the use of sweat drops in cartoons, his earlier series "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron," and, prophetically, whether or not he could see himself writing for live action film ("Possibly.").
