I’ll be interviewing cartoonists, historians, and print production people over the next few months as I pull the book together in anticipation of the Kickstarter campaign. I’ve already spoken with Lynn Johnston (“For Better or For Worse”), Brian Walker (“Beetle Bailey” & comics historian), and “Derf” Backderf (graphic novelist, My Friend Dahmer), emailed with Garry Trudeau, and have other interviews lined up. I’ve already collected so much raw visual material!

@glennf Please please please promise that you’ll try to include Bill Watterson. I mean, I’ll be buying a copy regardless, but Calvin and Hobbes means more to me than the Bible. Watterson painted the borders of a lot of my world view.

@cjgyt Here's hoping! I am a couple degrees away. Would love to talk to him and get permission to use materials.

@glennf Oh man. Fingers crossed!

@cjgyt I am hoping word of what I’m doing will seep out and folks who are interested in sharing stuff will help vet me to other people—definitely already happening a bit. I have so much excitement about this!

@glennf you might talk to Dave Kellett who, among other things, I think interviewed Watterson for the STRIPPED documentary. I’m confident he’d also be a good resource, more generally.

@tangocharlie On my list next week! He's an old pal at this point; we met when he was touring with Stripped.
