Claudia Carlson attended last night’s talk on the 20th Anniversary of the Sandman comic with Neil Gaiman and Chip Kidd, drew the sketch above, got both to autograph it and wrote the following on her blog:

Tonight I heard Chip Kidd, graphic design Jedi master, Batman enthusiast, and talented author interview Neil Gaiman the talented novelist, graphic novel author, screenwriter, up and coming director, and bee keeper. The event was at the 92nd Street Y, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side...Chip asked all the right questions. Neil is such a superb natural story teller he could undoubtedly make a visit to his dental hygienist sound humorous and satisfying...A lovely commemorative event.

Gaiman adds on his own website: “Best interview ever—partly because it was the very last thing of the tour (hurrah) and partly because Chip is a brilliant interviewer. He’s funny and smart and makes a comfortable space to talk in—I’m not sure how to explain it beyond that. If you’re a TV network looking for an interviewer, you should hire Chip Kidd.”
