Cartoonist goes back to neanderthals, future to Luke Skywalker! INTERVIEW

HEY, KIDS! COMICS! My guest today on Mr. Media Interviews is cartoonist Jeffrey Brown, creator of "Darth Vader & Son," "Vader's Little Princess," "Star Wars Jedi Academy," "Lucy and Andy Neanderthal” and "Clumsy."

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: 

4:15 "Google thought of me for this idea they had: they would do an everyday father and son moment between Darth  Vader and Luke. My autobiographical work dealt with awkward, everyday moments. And they knew I was a dad. My immediate reaction was to think of Luke as four years old, because that's how old my son was.'"

17:30 Brown talks about naming the characters in his newest children's series, Lucy & Andy Neanderthal;

36:45 Meeting graphic novelist Chris Ware was a big moment in Brown's development as a cartoonist; he talks about other influences as well.
