That irascible fellow Mr. Skin netted what must be an old interview with Jamie and Gilbert Hernandez. I say that because Gilbert at the end refers to the upcoming release of his book Sloth, which came out last year. Still, it’s a pretty fun read:
Both your works can get sexually explicit and feature voluptuous women. How important is sex to your stories?
JH: As important as stupor heroes are in those other comics! It’s a big part of my life, like eating breakfast or dinner. If I’m not allowed to draw it, I won’t draw, period.
GH: Important as in making the characters more interesting to us. Hmmm, let’s see: muscle-bound moron in spandex tights or intelligent and attractive woman as the protagonist?
