Here are two videos of FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE creator Lynn Johnston were recently posted at the "CBC News: The National" Web site:
Lynn Johnston - The Artist at Work
Life in a Comic Strip
She talks about the process behind the strip (she takes lots of photos and acts out the parts), and, in the Life in a Comic Strip vid, mentions her recent separation from her husband. The direction on The Artist at Work is a bit maddening. At one point she's drawing at her board and the camera does not move in for a close up on her drawing. We finally get some close ups of her pencilling at the end of the first video, with more of the same in the second.
A big hat tip to illustrator Patricia Storms ... and don't forget to check out her blog Booklust.
Oh, and here's a link to a 1979 lengthy video interview (that's mentioned in the new Life in a Comic Strip video) "Up Close and Personal."
