National Novel Writing Month - 2004 Interview

David Rees caught the public's attention shortly after 9/11, when he began posting Get Your War On, a clipart based comic strip featuring cubicle employees talking on the telephone about the bombing of Afghanistan. Since then, Rees's profanely acerbic figures have addressed the search for Weapons of Mass Destruction, the liberation of Iraq, and George Bush's plans to send astronauts to Mars.

A night with Neil Gaiman, let alone one with his multi-talented partner in crime Dave McKean, is always a bit weird, really. Neil, the bestselling author of American Gods and the Sandman series, always seems like a visiting rock star.
