Author, screenwriter and cartoonist of alternative comics Daniel Clowes, who lives in Oakland, got plenty of love today on NPR’s Morning Edition. The hook: his current exhibition of comic book art at the Oakland Museum of California. (
Listen to the piece.) But as KQED’s Jon Brooks blogs, among the things Clowes had to say that didn’t make it on-air was some nice stuff about Oakland. Here’s an
excerpt from the cutting room floor, sent to Brooks by NPR’s Laura Sydell:
Sydell: This town you sort of ended up in. Do you like Oakland?
Clowes: I love Oakland. I feel very comfortable here. I feel like it's sort of a decent bunch of people. You feel like the default person you might meet is like a vegan who rides a unicycle.
