CBR Beasts of Burden interview/preview at CBR
Jill Thompson and I were recently interviewed by Comic Book Resources about the Beasts of Burden series, and you can read the results here. The interview includes a six-page preview of Beasts of Burden #1. There's also a link to the first short story Jill and I did with the characters several years back, in case you haven't read it yet.

Thanks to Shaun Manning and CBR for helping us spread the word on the project.

Please enjoy.

I was too tempted to enlarge the thumbnails, but it looks so great I want to not spoil myself, y'know? I'm pre-sold, and great article/interview. Sharp, insightful comments from you, and I was particularly interested in Jill's thoughts on drawing animals, scale-wise and such. I was wondering if she's one of those sorts of cartoonist/animators who can draw just about anything, "just not horses". That line always cracks me up.

Jill can apparently draw anything. It's humbling, I have a laundry list of things I can't draw without reams of reference in front of me, and even then I still can't draw any of it.

I also liked reading about the scale issue, Jill's never actually told me about that, it's something I never thought of. Having a pug talking to a husky does present composition problems. Maybe I'll toss a dachshund into the cast to drive her crazy.
