To answer questions I’ve already been asked several times before this was even posted, yes I really interviewed Neil Gaiman, but no, we weren’t really on his private airship.
If you don’t know who Neil Gaiman is, you’ve probably wandered into the wrong comic by mistake. You may like to try Garfield instead.
You did it, you did it. Happy goth day
You made him look far too pretty
lovely page and lucky you for getting the interview
If I were introduced to the two of you at a party, I would be all like “OMG! Karen Ellis! I LUV your work! Neil Gaiman? Who are you?” LOL
The name always rings a bell, but I rarely remember why. I’m bad with names. Nothing Wikipedia can’t cure, in this case, I’m sure.
i have just finished after two long days of reading from start to finish all your comics and after reading everything you written, seen everything youve drawn all i can say is I am extremely jealous of you meeting neil gaimen and i believe you are the strongest person in the world for all youve been through thank you for comic i hope to read it for as long as you want to write it
It’s rare that you meet an ‘icon’ and it isn’t a disappointment…seems like Neil is such a rarity…
I remember reading that Mr. Gaiman suggested to his daughter that she shouldn’t go goth. Something about how her and her friends would all be sitting around bemoaning their dull parents, and she’d mention hers and it’d just ruin the mood.
I am so glad you’re back, I’d read your comic for ages, but when you dropped off bI kind of wandered away. I’ve just caught back up and so glad you’re back!
Does anyone like Garfield? Really?
What’s to dislike about a cat with a flippant manner and a hate for mondays?
Isn’t he a darling?
((I’m startled to discover that there’s no recording or even full account of his first Hugo acceptance speech. He came to the Hugo presentation when American Gods was nominated, with no idea he’d win. Not even an acceptance speech. He even wore a white shirt.
He won.
He said that when he was 14, the things he wanted most in the world were the nerve to find out the name of a girl he saw every day on the school bus, and to win a Hugo. And he looked at the Hugo he was holding and said, “Fuck! I won a Hugo!”, and realized what he’d said and went off stage. The genuineness was overwhelming.))
Bookstores have learned they have to rigorously limit the number of autographs they promise, because he will be talking to Every Single Person In Line no matter how many hours ago the store was supposed to close.

Wow! That’s awesome you got to interview him. I met him at Comic Con a few years back and he signed my Hardback copy of Neverwhere.
