Post by Hugegoat »

Yuh, We all know that Mr.Sakai is FAMOUS ^^!

But does he have other friends that are famous just like him? (excluding the ninja turtles creator).

I've said that one of the neat things about my profession is that I have gotten to meet many of my heros, or my artistic influences. I knew Jack Kirby. I still work with Stan Lee, who was the first name I associated with comics. Sergio Aragones of Mad magazine is one of my best friends. I see director John Landis at conventions. I know Gary Owens. Matt Groening is a friend. I toured with Jeff Smith. There are just so many others.

I've known Matt Groening for years, though I know Bill Morrison, the Bongo art director, much better.

Matt's sons are true Usagi readers, and they told their dad to have me do a pin-up for a Treehouse of Horror issue.

I have never met Bill Plymton.

I am looking forward to Matt's Futurama direct-to-DVD feature.
