Zach
\nWeinersmith, cartoonist, lover, frotteur. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you start drawing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I spent
\nmost of high school doodling in the back of class. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did you get any academic or professional training?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\ndegree in Literature, and a small amount of training in drawing. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nit about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Science,
\nphilosophy, penises, and more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n\"20080709\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When did you start publishing your cartoons
\nonline?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around 1998.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What kind of audience were you expecting to
\nreach?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just
\nfriends. Though, later I really wanted a large audience. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What kind of readers did you end up with?<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than
\nexpected. And a lot nerdier than expected.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n\"20110211\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How much time does it take you to make a
\ncartoon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The drawing
\ntakes between 10 minutes and 10 hours, depending on length. The writing is hard
\nto say. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are they specially made for your website?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What tools do you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Digital
\ntablet, photoshop. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What graphic artists have inspired your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first
\ninspirations were Glen Baxter<\/a> and The Parking Lot is Full<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How much time do you spend reading webcomics?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almost
\nnone… <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n\"20080301\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the ones you love the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buttersafe<\/a>
\nis pretty great. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you met many people thanks to your
\nwebcomics?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah,
\nalmost everyone who's a webcomics pro in the USA, I've met. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you sensitive to reader comments?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not very,
\nbut I avoid them. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on digital comics in general
\n(on the web, iPad, PSP\u2026)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have
\nnone! Almost all comics are digital now. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where can we see your work aside from your
\nwebsite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reposted
\nwithout attribution on funnyjunk<\/a>. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\n\"Captain\"<\/a>Do you have any printed publications? Can you
\ntell us a bit about them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have
\nseveral books out through breadpig<\/a>. 2 compilations, 1 science-themed
\ncompilation, and 1 gamebook. I also have a comic called Captain Stupendous<\/a> that
\nwas produced by IDW. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you expect from your coming to the
\nFestiblog? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The
\nopportunity to pretend to be Ernest Hemingway in Paris for 3 days. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A word for those who will come to see you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please
\nexcuse my terrible terrible French. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This year Bastien Viv\u00e8s is the godfather of the
\nevent and our theme is \u201cVideo Games\u201d. So what is your favorite video game of
\nall time? What are the games you currently enjoy playing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don't
\nplay video games because I get too addicted. But I used to love the
\nCivilization series. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our godmother is Leslie Pl\u00e9e who writes a lot
\nabout her phobias, so tell us a bit about yours, do you have any?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I get
\nmildly anxious on planes and I don't like heights. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anything you wish to add?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Send me Boulet!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

L'interview en fran\u00e7ais<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Qui es-tu ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zach Weinersmith, dessinateur, loveur, frotteur<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Comment as-tu commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 dessiner ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

J\u2019ai pass\u00e9 mon temps \u00e0 gribouiller au fond de la classe au lyc\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As-tu suivi une formation ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

J\u2019ai une Licence de litt\u00e9rature, et j\u2019ai suivi quelques cours de dessin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Peux-tu pr\u00e9senter ton webcomics ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Science, philosophie, p\u00e9nis, et plus encore. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quand as-tu commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 publier tes BD en ligne ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vers 1998.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quel public voulais-tu rencontrer ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mes amis. Bien qu'apr\u00e8s je voulais vraiment avoir plus de lecteurs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Et finalement qui sont tes lecteurs ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ils sont plus nombreux que je ne le pensais. Et beaucoup plus de nerds que pr\u00e9vu.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n\"20130605humains-vs-robots\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Combien de temps passes-tu en moyenne sur tes notes ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le dessin me prend entre 10 minutes et 10 heures selon la longueur des strips. Pour l\u2019\u00e9criture c\u2019est plus difficile \u00e0 dire. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Est-ce que ce sont des dessins sp\u00e9cialement faits pour le blog ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oui. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Avec quoi dessines-tu ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tablette graphique, photoshop. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quelles sont tes influences graphiques ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mes premi\u00e8res inspirations \u00e9taient Glen Baxter<\/a> et The Parking Lot is Full<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Combien de temps passes-tu sur les blogs des autres ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pratiquement aucun…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n\"20130623la-journee-de-jesus\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quels sont ceux dont tu es fan ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buttersafe<\/a> est vraiment pas mal. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As-tu fait des rencontres gr\u00e2ce aux blogs ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ouai, j\u2019ai rencontr\u00e9 pratiquement tous les pros du webcomics aux Etats-Unis.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Es-tu sensible aux commentaires ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pas trop, mais j\u2019\u00e9vite de les lire. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

De mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, que penses-tu que la BD num\u00e9rique (\u00e0 lire sur le web, sur iPhone, sur PSP…) ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Je n\u2019ai pas d\u2019avis. Presque tous les comics sont num\u00e9riques maintenant. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

O\u00f9 peut-on voir ton travail en dehors de ton site ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Repost\u00e9 sans cr\u00e9dit sur funnyjunk<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n\"Captain\"<\/a>As-tu des albums ? Peux-tu nous les pr\u00e9senter ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

J\u2019ai plusieurs albums disponibles sur breadpig<\/a>. 2 compilations, 1 compilation sur le th\u00e8me de la science et 1 BD dont-vous-\u00eates-le-h\u00e9ros. J\u2019ai aussi une BD qui s\u2019appelle Captain Stupendous<\/a> \u00e9dit\u00e9e chez IDW.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Qu'attends-tu de ta venue au Festiblog ? Un mot pour ceux qui vont venir te voir ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Faire semblant d\u2019\u00eatre Ernest Hemingway \u00e0 Paris pendant 3 jours. Pardonnez d'avance mon fran\u00e7ais d\u00e9plorable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cette ann\u00e9e, le th\u00e8me du Festiblog, c'est 'Les jeux vid\u00e9o', alors dis-nous, quel est ton jeu vid\u00e9o pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 de tout temps ? Et auxquels joues-tu actuellement ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Je ne joue pas aux jeux vid\u00e9o car je ne sais pas m\u2019arr\u00eater. Mais j\u2019adorais la s\u00e9rie Civilization.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notre marraine est Leslie Pl\u00e9e qui \u00e9crit souvent sur ses phobies, alors parle-nous des tiennes ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Je suis l\u00e9g\u00e8rement anxieux en avion et j\u2019ai un peu le vertige.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Un dernier mot ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Envoyez-moi Boulet! <\/p>\n
