Walking and Talking with . . . Jerry Craft!
For the past five years this site has been the proud home of author (and cartoonist!) Steve Sheinkin’s “Walking and Talking” series of interviews. We’ve a real treat for you today. As Steve wrote me, “Jerry Craft came to our local bookstore last week to talk about New Kid, and I nabbed a quick interview for the comic.” Perfect! I don’t know about you but we’re all big time New Kid fans at my library. Haven’t seen it yet? I recommend you remedy this situation, pronto. In the meantime, here’s Jerry.
