ugh, the interviewer himself is awful. First the boorish joke about keepin' women in their proper place at home, then follows through with idiot comments and snippy little interruptions.

but still, love phil himself!

Just re-read Buck Godot and Myth Adventures today. Webcomic gold.

@SimWebb Oh, come on it was just a joke. No one these days thinks a woman's place is in the kitchen, even thou it is (see that was a joke too).

[IkeKahzadi]

Why does he no longer do pieces for M:TG?

[wastedmodesto]

it has something to do with Hasbro and WOC the coast wanting a "new" super realism look for Magic.

The Foglio's are my heros. When I grow up I want to be a jagermonster (Comming from a 21 year old).

Lol, I love it! Incidentally, I play a game called Endless, and just named my latest character 'G. Wulfenbach'.

I always loved What's New and Wormy! Sadly, Phil's drawing style had changed for the worse when he finally did the Sex & D&D strip!

I always loved What's New and Wormy!

When I was a tiny gamer and reading 'What's New' in the back of Dragon magazine every month, I wanted to be Phil Foglio when I grew up. Now that I'm 40+ years old I STILL want to be Phil Foglio when I grow up!

Wow...you all must be youngsters and it's my first time seeing his face but this is the man who drew the one unforgettable comic book that lasted only one issue that I bought in 1983...D'arc Tangent. Aw, man.

[Spinal1978]

I still have my old XXXenophile cards, it was a fun game :)

[vinigottin]

Girl Genius and Buck Godot are just god plain awesome.

Haven't read GG in a while (one year now!) cause I like accumulating a lot of content to read through in one sit

One day, oh, when I have the money, I'll buy every single print issue of GG.

[Khultan]

My gosh. PHIL PHOGLIO. I'm very sad. He and another co-creator worked on an extremely intriguing story called, D'arc Tangent. Artwork just knocked me out. I almost want to cry, because I actually had the first issue of it and it was their only release because there would be no more. And then I lost this, somehow. Sigh....

Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire is the bestest thing ever.

The bestest.
