For my last interview of 2006, I wanted to do something really special. So I picked a webcomic creator entirely at random, and AMBUSHED them.

Unfortunately, I picked Byron Hussie of Byrobot, and … well… you’ll have to decide for yourself who ambushed whom.

This week, I speak with David Berner, the guiding voice behind Broken Voice Comics.

Next week, Ambush Journalism!

Well, I asked for volunteers for interviews, and Boy Howdy did I get a Crop O’ Goodness.

Given that I only do one interview a week, I’m going to put a qualifier on my previous statement of “I want to talk to YOU!”. I do, just … not soon. Of course, we at Fleen in general are always glad to hear from anyone involved in the webcomics ‘verse, and we do want to hear what you have to say.

But my schedule for the next few months is now booked. On the subject of schedule, I’m going to take two weeks off around the turn of the year. I’ll publish my last interview of 2006 on the 19th, and then pick up again on January 9th.

Here’s the list of people I’ll be talking to in 2007, in no guaranteed order:

• David C. Simon
• Chad Diez
• Ben Stirling
• Lisa Fary and artist
• Chris Hallbeck
• Fred Grisolm
• Paul “The Prettiest Girl In School” Southworth
• Alice Hunt

That looks like an amazing start to 2007, so I hope you’ll join me in not being able to wait.

Not sure of the connection, but Jeff’s interview with Spike from last week has been blog-linked by a porn starlet (NSFW, obviously) named Cherry Rain.

I’m not sure if she’s trying to claim authorship, or just blew (ha, ha!) her attempt to link to us, but there you have it. Jeff Lowrey: porn stars like his words.

This week, I talk to Chris VonGompel, the man behind, in front of, beside, and otherwise fully responsible for the webcomic Hockey Zombie.

Before we dive right in to what promises (and delivers, but not pizza) to be one of my more interesting interviews, I’m going to take a moment to re-extend an invitation to any and all webcomic creators who’d like to be interviewed. I want to talk to YOU.

And now, here’s Chris.

This week, I’m speaking with Spike, the creative dynamo behind Templar, Arizona and a couple of other real gems of comics. It’s a fascinating discourse into puppies, ink wells, and a few easy tips on how to be the cover of a Tom Waits album…

Hi, this week we’ve got a very special Thanksgiving themed Interview, with the fine folks who bring us ButternutSquash.

(more…)

For Part 2 of my ongoing interview series, I caught up with Danielle Corsetto. Danielle writes, draws and publishes the webcomic Girls With Slingshots, previously reviewed, and is the creator currently behind The New Adventures of Bat Boy for the Weekly World News.

A quick note about my interview series before we get into the intimate details of Danielle’s story. I am aiming to do one interview a week, publishing on Tuesday. Next week, look for a very special Thanksgiving edition.

Hey, Kids! It’s interview time again!

D.J Coffman‘s been in the news a lot recently, both for good stuff and bad, and he’s always been a willing victim friend of Fleen’s. So when I decided to get back into this crazy little world, at least on a limited basis doing interviews, he’s the first creator I thought to contact.

Yeah.

That’s right.

I’m back. Doing interviews.

Want me to interview you? Just write in and ask.

Meanwhile, here’s what’s up with D.J.

John Allison is no longer. Not only has his strip been replaced by the work of others, but the man himself is gone.

He’s been replaced by Simon Cowell.

He wants YOUR submissions for the newest, greatest thing to come out of England since the last time John left his native land (I’m pretty sure that was SPX last year…).

SCARY GO ROUND IDOL!

So don’t forget to remit by the 31st, cause you could win fabulous prizes.
