Hi Noah –
Sounds like you’ve been going through some rough stuff lately. I write a comics column for the http://www.revolutionsf.com website, and just wondered if you’d be interested in doing an e-mail interview sometime, and to feature some info on your comics. I’ve been thinking about doing something that celebrates the indy comics more, and I could possibly start that with you. Let me know if you’d be interested.
Good luck with everything –

I’ll be your friend… We can be pals.
You already are my pal, pal!
Hi Noah! Interesting thoughts on Dylan. I gotta say, I couldn’t agree more. AV
I follow you on twitter, and honest to god love your comics, think you are really setting a good tone for artists in our generation, so don’t get so down on yourself!
Thank you! That is very kind!
Noah–I’ve published a children’s biography on Elijah Lovejoy and recently came across your comic treatment of his final stand at the warehouse. Impressive. Just wanted to let you know I posted a link to it on my author Facebook page this week. I hope it will draw some viewers over to your blog here so they can enjoy the Lovejoy comic and see more of your work. Take care!
Jennifer Phillips
great work noah!
You were born to ramble.
Hey I just stumbled upon your excellent Coronado strip on Tumblr, and I wanted to know how the use of a band’s lyrics or just the use of a well-known musical figure (not drawn to match any particular published online photo) in a strip works copyright-wise. Under what circumstances do I need to start thinking about asking permission from celebrities and other well-established musicians? I myself double as an aspiring cartoonist and music junkie and I have always wanted to include rock music references and poke fun at folks like Bono and Morrissey in a sort of South Park-like fashion. Copyright issues have always sort of confused me.
Anyway, awesome work!
In all honesty, I don’t know what the rules are. I just do what I want. If Deerhunter tells me that they hate this, I’ll take it down.
Noah, I was really sorry not to meet you at BEA. Every time I swung by the Fantagraphics booth, you were somewhere else! Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed The Hypo, and that I was pleased I was able to get it on the Hottest Graphic Novels 2012 list. I look forward to adding it to my library’s collection when it’s out!
Well, dang! I really wish that I could’ve met you too! I’m really happy to hear that you liked the book! Thank you for the help!
Do you ever do custom comics for people?
your Merchantville friends are so proud of you
Im not a writer or an artist, but man i love your comics.
I just received “The Complete Works of Fante Bukowski” and I love the way the book was put together. From the size to the facsimile signature of Fante Bukowski on the title page, the production values and the “visual tributes” and Fantagraphics self-deprecating commentary, this book is a treasure of lots of little things done right. I read the first FB book, looking forward to reading the entire saga.
