Wired.com chats with Daniel Clowes

Wired.com, fast becoming a site to watch for comic news and views, chats with Daniel Clowes about his latest film, Art School Confidential:

WN: What was the response when you first published Art School Confidential?

Daniel Clowes: It was literally something where I had four pages left (in Eightball 7) and I had to turn the issue in. I said, "Well, I'll do something about art school that will amuse my ten friends who went." I really thought nobody else would comment on it or even notice.

As it turned out, every single one of my readers was either in art school or had some affiliation with it. They all responded overwhelmingly (and) were all certain I had gone to the same art school they had.

Art School Confidential opens in a limited run this Friday.
