Remember how, ages ago, I met Gilbert Shelton at his studio in Paris? Well. I finally wrote it up for The Comics Journal.

While in Paris, I got to hang out with Gilbert Shelton, creator of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. I've been a fan of his since I was about thirteen or fourteen, I would think, so to sit and chat and eat and drink with him was a real treat. And what a lovely man Gilbert is.

I'll write up the interview properly sometime soon, but in the meantime, you can read a short piece that Matthew Rose wrote about the meeting (and other things) over on Philadelphia's 'The Art Blog'. 

You can also see more photos (including the drawing Gilbert did for me) over on my new facebook page. Did I mention that yet? I did?

RIP

The great, great Ronald Searle has died.
