We now return to our WEEKLY three minute interviews...

Jacque Nodell is a historian and in my opinion a hell of an artist and writer. She can draw an octopus like nobody's business and is the best friend comics ever had. That's a picture of her taking a picture of me! She has no website and no fixed address, but lives in the hearts and minds of everyone she comes in contact with. If you aren't that much happier after spending a few moments with Jacque, than you ought to either quit being an artist or throw away your entire comic book collection, because you are a tragic person with no hope of ever feeling joy. Yes, she's that special! I had some fun with her during this interview, so, please...read on.

Bill Wilkison: Jacque, I have found a common thread among artists in many disciplines that Dr. Seuss had a big influence on them growing up and that influence continues today. What influence has Dr. Seuss had on your life, work or art?

Jacque Nodell: The short film "The Lorax" has always stuck with me and reminds me to use my resources wisely in both my personal and professional life.

BW: (See, people, anybody comes up with "The Lorax" when you mention Dr. Suess is pretty special indeed.) Art is interpretive. What is this?



JN: I see a wooly mammoth walking towards a window!


BW: Who's your daddy?

JN: Haha! Well my father is Spencer Nodell, an awesome guy who is a retired postal worker. He is also the son of Mart Nodell who created the original Green Lantern and that is how I got into the comic book world!
