SONS OF THE DESERT (with Laurel and Hardy)7. Who's your favourite Simpsons character?
I don't really watch The Simpsons that much. I've seen maybe one or twoepisodes. They all look fine to me!!8. Isn't it true that you did some work for THE SIMPSONS back when it started?
I was working at an animation studio and that was one of the things that wewere going to draw. The studio made a deal to do layouts and story boardsfor it. But the deal just sort of fell through. I did get the charactersmodels of how to draw them, but never actually did.9. What is your favourite drawing tool?
Right now I'm using blue pencil a lot because it's easy to erase.10. Do you have to prepare yourself to draw, or can you just do it anytime?
I don't have control over when I want to draw. When I feel like drawing Ithink I'm doing really well. When I don't feel like drawing I feel like I'mdoing a bad job. But once it's all printed... I can't tell the difference!11. Who's your favourite comic artist?
I've got lots, but the obvious would be Jack Kirby. He created all the great MARVEL comics in the 1960s. THOR, FANTASTIC FOUR and SILVER SURFER. He did all kinds of stuff. He died in 1998 or '99.Ian Carr, thank you very much!
