    How do you approach a script for Simone Bianchi as English isn't his first language? Is there anything you do differently? Are you more cautious as far as your descriptions go?

    If the future we were promised were to suddenly arrive, what would be the first thing you would do in/with it?

    that's funny. where InvincibleM saw huge Cyke nipples, i wondered where they got a round bed just their size. my priorities are skewed to hell, i guess.

    have you ever considered starting your own publishing company?

    just curious.

    ah god, I feel like such a geek asking this. in Transmetropolitan, are Kristin (the political consultant/drug dealer) and her goons supposed to evoke the Pixies, or is it just coincidental resemblance?

    Entirely coincidental.

    have you ever considered starting your own publishing company?

    Yes. I once sat down and did some working-out on that score. It turned out that if I started my own publishing company, I'd have to stop being a writer. So I said Fuck That.

    How do you approach a script for Simone Bianchi as English isn't his first language?

    Same as I do anyone else, and trust to a good translator.

    In volume 1 of transmet, did you or Darick Robertson intend for a pre shave andhaircut Spider Jerusalem to look like Alan Moore?

    No, not at all. I put this common misperception down to fanboys who don't leave the house much.

    Would you ever consider writing Punisher?

    Follow Garth, you mean? No chance.

    Ever watch Lost? That show is a continual nod to all kinds of fanboy literature.

    A few episodes here and there. Don't really have time to follow a network show that intensively.


    1) Do you think that an anthology title like 2000AD or Judge Dredd would go over well here in the states (Think Wildstorm or Vertigo titles)?

    It's already in the States. If a US publisher could get a weekly anthology out of sufficient quality, yeah, I think it'd do fine.


    3) Ever considered working with The Question?

    I understand that character's dead now.

    Has John Siuntres ever asked you to do a Word Balloon interview?

    Do you think Anonymous stepping off the net in such a big way is going to affect the way writers approach social sf?

    Possibly. Don't recall. Doing podcast interviews is just a huge pain in the arse, so I don't bother.


    Do you think Anonymous stepping off the net in such a big way is going to affect the way writers approach social sf?

    Hugely. I've already been tinkering with DOKTOR SLEEPLESS because of it.

    I mean, a lot depends on how it pans out, but right now, it feels like mobile phones -- that thing that no-one in sf really saw coming.

    What are you currently growing in your garden?

    The weather's making it appallingly difficult. I'm still on the first round of germination at present: cauliflower, sorrel, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, a couple other things. If the weather settles down by the end of the week, I can get those into the mini-greenhouse and start off the salad leaves. Last year's strawberry plants are under cover.

    You sometimes jokingly mentioned here and there that what you earn from your comics can buy you a cheeseburger back here in the UK...

    But in all seriousness, is the exchange rate and the fears of an economic meltdown stateside something you worry about in that you have to ramp up productivity dramatically to -in lack of a better word- survive?

    Yes. Right now, I have to weigh a day off against my monthly bottom line due to the increasing worthlessness of the dollar. Three years ago, it'd sunk enough that I was running to stand still. Today, I'm trying to keep my head above water.

    Interesting.

    Warren, you mentioned earlier about the value of the dollar and how it's hurting you. My question is whether you have ever considered getting paid in the future in Euros and/or Pounds? Is that even possible for you, and do you think this action would have any detrimental effects towards your career?

    Not actually possible.

    Have you considered doing any work for 2000ad?

    Sure. The moment they offer me a creator-ownership contract.

    That said, I've had no contact at all from 2000AD in six or seven years, so I don't think they're actively looking to hire me or anything.

    Another curiosity if you'll indulge me....

    You've said you've no interest in writing for mainstream American TV because you're not a fan of the committee process (edit: I'm heavily paraphrasing)

    but have you ever considered writing for the BBC where it can be a one man show of six episodes a series?

    Would you like to clean an entire city using only a toothbrush and then get paid exactly twenty-three roubles?
