This week\u2019s guest: Simon Hanselmann!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tazmanian enfant terrible Simon Hanselmann<\/a> is here at the Process Party! Simon is of course the creator of the wildly popular Megg & Mogg comics<\/a> currently being collected by Fantagraphics Books. His wife & Fantagraphics’ publicist Jacq Cohen is also on hand and we were happy to have her join the discussion.<\/p>\n

We kick things off with a discussion of Simon’s musical performance at the Fantagraphics 40th Anniversary party, which leads naturally to\u00a0his upcoming 2Dcloud release DRONE v2, which is part of their current Kickstarter push<\/a>. It’s \u00a0a one off mini that is a darkly comic episode of the continuing adventures of Megg & Mogg & company, but it’s also a tribute of sorts to Simon’s recently deceased friend Carl (the real life inspiration for the Werewolf Jones character).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From there, it’s on to Simon’s legendary workaholic creation schedule, autobiography, family, addiction, and the bleakness of the Tazmanian singles scene. We take a look at his recent mini-comics release Landscape, which was a stealth Truth Zone release. \u00a0His approach to satire & takes on the current comics scene are the focus of this comic, and we dig into that a bit. Simon is currently in the home stretch of his deadline push for his upcoming book One More Year<\/a>, and we are thankful he was able to take the time out to talk to us, because this is a fun & spirited episode!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BUT FIRST!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mike & Zack talk about Mike’s pants, Doctor Strange, kids that don’t care about our old man bullshit, Kickstarter, publishing strategies, & Zack of all people ribs Mike for not being on schedule with updating his new webcomic<\/a>, which is completely rude considering the irregular schedule Zack maintains with his<\/a>.<\/p>\n
