Duuuude those last 6 minutes of his words could be repeated over and over in my head and never lose any value. So articulate and so inspiring. That was such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for making this one happen!

Amen. That was truly inspiring and insightful. I feel like that message and wisdom was always millimeters out of reach, and Seth just nudged it into my grasp. Thank you Seth and Kayfabe for another great conversation. Make more comics…or umbrellas, make more!

This might be the best shoot interview yet. I was lucky enough to talk with Seth for a while at a Vortex Comics party (!) at a Chicago con back in the 1980s, and he was a great, fascinating guy. I'm glad to see he hasn't changed. Thanks for sharing this.

Always delightful to hear Seth speak. When he came to my local comics festival I had all of his graphic novels to get signed but I didn't want to hold the line up that long so I only got George Sprott signed and he sketched George and by my request he also kindly sketched him, Chester and Joe too (Seth is their leader). He also had his Peanuts pencil case with him, which was fitting as the Complete Peanuts designer.

It was funny to hear him talk about identity-building during his early Palookaville years. When I first discovered his work in my teens, I had just assumed that this was some middle-aged guy whose identity was fully formed within some "old timey" niche environment far removed from the type of environment I grew up in lol. Thanks for this wonderful shoot interview, guys!

His final point about the individuality of umbrellas- was breathtaking. It speaks to why I find AI art so offensive . It’s not an expression of the individuality of the creator. Also the point about trying to define and represent your persona as a young person then discovering the truth of who you actually were when you’re older was very inspiring. Beyond Seth’s amazing body of work-I really wanted to be the Seth that Joe Matt created in peepshow- he obviously admired his friend and made him funny, interesting with a strong sense of right and wrong- the trick was Joe wanted to be perceived as incredibly flawed, like Larry David in curb your enthusiasm. So to do that he needed a voice of reason, but also someone who was bemused yet horrified. Seth filled that role. Thanks for asking about the bound volumes- I was dying to know and was not disappointed.

I had very little exposure to Seth before this interview, this was really entertaining and I will be seeking out his work. The quote from de Kooning and explanation using Ditko and Clowes made me immediately do the same 180 shift in perception of that quote that he described. Makes complete sense when explained that way. His final thoughts on the importance of collecting, creation and identity really hit home. Thoroughly enjoyed this!

I was at a convention at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City in the early 90s. They were probably only about four or five artists there in a couple of dealers. I was tagging along with a friend of mine, who is a little bit older than I was, and he was actually my boss at a telemarketing company. The guys name was Rick Cusick and he was a really brilliant person. Eventually, he became a publisher of high times magazine. So he was looking for something to buy . There are a couple of marvel artist sat the convention, and they were complaining about how the inker the company assigned had destroyed their work. I really liked the superhero stuff, but Rick was not really impressed. He wandered over to this table where a guy and a T-shirt and glasses was sketching , that was Joe Matt. The guy sitting to his left who is wearing an old fashion suit and these round glasses that looks like something out of the 1920s. I asked him was he dress like that on purpose for a particular reason. He really did look like Harold Lloyd, the silent film star. Well, as you can probably guess I was talking to Seth. I remember Rick bought an original piece of artwork from Joe called how to be poor. I don’t know where that piece of artwork is now.

Thoughtful is the first word that comes to mind after watching this, I've never read any of Seth's work but did pick up some Palookaville this week after Thursdays Patreon stream. This interview blew me away, he's definitely a character but that character is really who he is. He seemed really comfortable with you guys and that's a testament to what you both do on this channel. I'm glad Ed asked about the books behind him but did anyone notice the perfect placement of the "Gregory Gallant Presents"? Perfectly in our faces!
