The Jewish Comics Blog interviews Barry

Steven Bergson of the Jewish Comics Blog has published an interview with me. Steven, who has been incredibly supportive of Hereville, really did his research, and asked smart questions that no one else has thought to ask me.

Here’s a sample, but you’ll have to go to Steven’s site to read the whole thing:

SMB: Thus far, the only Jews we’ve encountered in Hereville have been Hasidic Jews like Mirka and her family. Do other Jewish groups exist in the world of Hereville? Will the reader be made aware of other denominations (e.g. Conservative or Reform) or are they considered totally irrelevant in Mirka’s community?

BD: All sorts of Jews exist in the world of Hereville, but they don’t live in the town, and they are pretty irrelevant to Mirka’s community. But there are non-Hasidic Jews who visit town every now and then. For instance, Rochel, Mirka’s stepsister, has a father who comes by a couple of times a year, and he’s Jewish but not Hasidic.

And then, as if that wasn’t enough, he also gathered links to what appears to be every single interview with me available on the web, and published them below the interview! He even found the old interview that Erika Moen conducted with me, before the book version of Hereville was even published.

Thanks, Steven!
