People Better Than Me

Neil Gaiman, a guy I really hate because he does everything I want to do and way better than I could do it, was featured on NPR's Talk of the Nation the other day, in a good, long interview that mainly deals with comics. Gaiman sounds entirely too happy for some of the dark stuff he writes. For instance, when host Neil Conan asks Gaiman why the Sandman is so dour, Gaiman chuckles and says something like, "Yeah, he is a gloomy bugger, isn't he?" Anyway, it's a great interview. Gaiman's take on the Joseph Campbell "Hero's Journey" is a hoot.
