On the latest Inkstuds, I noticed Scott McCloud throwing some shade towards The Comics Journal. Is there a general feeling of ill will towards TCJ and Fantagraphics among working artists? I'm interested in how TCJ is regarded.

I don’t quite remember the context but yeah TCJ I think is regarded as kind of out of touch. I like a lot of the guys on there but it can come off as an old boys club when talking about race or women in comics. 

Fanta is pretty respected I think, They have the Hernandez Bros, Simon Hanselmann, Eleanor Davis and Julia Gfrörer and all that history of good books.
