    Charles Forsman - Comix Claptrap interview

    The Claptrap crew chats with cartoonist Charles Forsman (THE END OF THE FXXXING WORLD, I AM NOT OK WITH THIS, REVENGER, AUTOMA) about comics process, collaboration, Netflix, Patreon, skateboarding, and more. NOTE: We recorded this interview on May 22, 2020. Since then, we have been rocked by disturbing events in our country which have reminded us how crucial it is to tell our stories and to make our voices heard in whatever way we can, including comics, arts and writing. The Comix Claptrap supports Black Lives Matters, the protests, and ending police violence. https://blacklivesmatter.com/ -------------- Charles Forsman's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chuck Rina Ayuyang Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/rinayay Thien Pham Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thiendog Josh Frankel Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/jfhimself

    Thank you, Dylan Williams

    Dylan Williams was a talented comic artist, a passionate publisher and above all else our great dear friend. Dylan passed away this weekend. There are not enough words in the world to say how much we will miss him and his enthusiasm for comics, creativity and life in general. Last year at APE, Thien moderated a panel about the Bay Area comics scene then and now. Dylan, along with Bay Area comic artists Susie Cagle, Ben Catmull, Andrew Farago and Hellen Jo talked about their beginnings and participation in the indie, small comics community. The interview gives just a tiny glimpse at how influential and important Dylan was to comics and the many lives he touched. Dylan would post about the Comix Claptrap on the Sparkplug Comics blog. He lovingly compare us to Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis and say that Thien's podcast personality resembled the likes of Henry Rollins, Bill O'Reilly and Alger Hiss. Against his better judgement, he would sometimes actually listen to the show, and say that his favorite parts were when Finn would cry or scream in the background. Dylan, we love you and we thank you for your heart, laughter and generosity.

    Thank you, Dylan Williams
