Dave Howard has posted a great two part interview with the influential Daniel Clowes (author of Wilson, published by D+Q) at The Torontoist:
Ten or fifteen years ago I would get a lot of comics in the mail that were very clearly—it was as if someone had read my comics and they were trying to do their own comics but they were so strongly influenced by me and it was, it felt very strange. I know my work is based on my reading of other artists and taking elements from them, so there was a new generation of artists who just weren’t ready to do their own work and it was very filtered through my sensibilities. I didn’t take offense at it or anything, I had certainly done the same thing myself, but it felt strange.
