Boy, I Hear That One

Claire Zulkey interviews Bruce Eric Kaplan, whose latest collection of cartoons, This Is a Bad Time, just came out. LAWeekly, which runs a BEK cartoon in every issue, recently published an edited version of Kaplan's introduction. Zulkey gets him to talk about inspiration:

Things almost never ever pop into my head. I am amazed by people who say "I was just walking along and I suddenly had the greatest idea for…" I have to sit somewhere and just bang my head against something until something--anything--dribbles out.

Oh, and I found an old review of Kaplan's first book, No One You Know.
