Ask Neil Gaiman

Posted by Roblimo on from the nights-are-endless-for-the-sandman's-gods dept.

A very special "call for questions" today: Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman, a series whose long-awaited resurrection was -- not coincidentally -- announced last week. Neil is also winner of the uncoveted Roblimo's favorite book of the 21st Century so far award for American Gods, and a free speech activist who has concentrated -- again, not coincidentally -- on comic book and graphic novel authors' and vendors' freedoms. Please read this interview, listen to this NPR interview, and check other material about Neil before you ask questions, in order to avoid triteness. We'll send 10 of the highest-moderated questions to Neil tomorrow, and post his answers when he gets them back to us.

    Did you work at DEC in the late 80's/early 90's?

    My Question:

    Mr. Gaiman, what's wrong with Roblimo? Why does he keep humping your leg?
