My Chat with Simon Hanselmann

[@liammctaggart9840]

"Ahh, sucks having all these awards!" "I know, right??" Very relateable content.

[@noahvansciver5661]

Ha ha ha

[@josephhcollura]

The two best cartoonists working today! I pre-order EVERYTHING they do!

[@ftloc]

I'm making my way through all your videos and every single one of them is gold! This was hilarious and insightful and very entertaining. Not a minute wasted, as they say. I've never read any of Simon Hanselman's comics and only recently ordered a couple (they have not yet arrived). This conversation has really whetted my appetite, not just for those books in the mail but for all the people and comics the two of you mention - I'm so removed from zines and small press stuff due to unavailability, but with web comics I should have no excuse, other than my reluctance to spend even more time on the computer than I already do. Thank you once again for a terrific channel.

2 of my favorite current artists chatting for an hour?! This is lockdown catnip for me. Thanks!

[@amirmalekpour4316]

Thanks for doing this Noah and Simon. I really enjoyed the banter and process talk.

[@thedinoavalon]

I gotta party with Hanselmann.

[@Olympics2048]

From the interviews I’ve seen of Simon, I feel like he’d be a great late night talk show guest. That wit and so goddamn likable

[@VanderBastard]

He actually went to La Resistencia like a year ago, a Spaniard night talk show (you can look for that here on youtube) and he was hilarious. I had read Megg and Mogg before on tumblr but had never seen any interviews, so I didn't know what he looked like, but the moment he appeared on stage and I saw he was wearing a Megg and Mogg T-shirt I was like NOOO WAY. After that I bought my first Meg and Mogg comic.

[@OchoComics]

I'm rereading Simon's books-- great stuff and great interview!

[@lucyrosetill-campbell7443]

"I dropped out of high school so I can't read running writing." Gold.

[@freakface1234]

Just what I needed to see after burning through seeds and stems in one sitting tonight. Had the book since release but had put it away for some time. Also, really funny hearing Simons' voice as I had only seen him in pictures and he fucking delivers it all while wearing a dress lol

[@jamesedwardclard]

Gotten into his stuff since he started his covid comic, wasn’t expecting the accent lol

[@G_BLASTER]

This is great. Thank you!

[@walgrover]

Here's the one I've been waiting for!

[@bryce3603]

Just read the collection today! Super great, the drones demo story really stuck out to me as lovely. Hope Simon is doing well. Chatting with him at my first SPX really made me want to double down on my art.

[@ErwinPapa]

Thanks for making this happen!

[@bigbrodall1]

Great interview. Segment talking about selling zines was great.

[@jacknatolino]

Man this guy is fucking hilarious 😂

[@earlgrey862]

...next up: Benjamin Mara? ..... :) .... btw this video was the funniest, most entertaining, just the best of all the videos I've seen on youtube this year

[@noahvansciver5661]

I could reach out to Ben. I don’t know him very well. We run in different comics circles I think. I wonder if he’d be interested! Thanks a lot!

[@stephenbeagle2239]

Very interesting.

[@borosko.design]

Great interview 🖤

[@atomicjess76]

I follow Ben Mara on IG and have also missed his comic! Wtf!? Great interview as always Noah!

[@frankaigre]

this is a great conversation, thanks!

[@lunasrojas_]

I really really admire that guy, for real

[@s.craigzahler8670]

Fun interview! I would probably enjoy a Werewolf Jones meets Fante Bukowski crossover more than Fante would.

[@ceramiccounty]

I love your show, Noah. You are the modern Bruce Blitz.

[@evansuggs8292]

As a chattanoogan I really identify with Noah's description of unkempt lawns and the heat

[@franciscogalvez813]

Surely, he's kidding when he says he's straight edge? Or does he really mean he got clean?

[@DannyHouk]

Noah, I've had the SNL host dream too. It was similar, but it included the stress of moving my five kids to NYC and convincing my bitter ex wife to let me.

[@kolyabilan6580]

01:08 Angouleme award is just dogsh*t... ahaha, Hanselmann!

[@DmitryIllustration]

Thank you both for this. Is it just me, or is Simon channeling Shelagh Delaney ("A Taste of Honey")? kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4nQfqaFd9erb8k Might just be an accent thing, but both are great. Love their work.

[@pjbrown4736]

Was reading One More Year earlier. I want the drug dealer spider to come back.

[@azraamorphine]

Anyone else catch that "I don't smoke weed" from Hanselmann? WTF. He said it in his thing with Sami Alwani too. Did he give it up or what?!

[@rccomics]

Ben Mara recently announced he was leaving MLB to be a FT cartoonist.

[@amirmalekpour4316]

What did he do for MLB?

[@rccomics]

Amir Malekpour I honestly don’t know. I did a quick search and couldn’t find anything.

[@timlevang]

@@amirmalekpour4316 I'm pretty sure he was a "standard graphic designer", I think he said so in an interview.
