    My absolute hero. Groo is the one comic consistent in my life from childhood, the best pre-bedtime reading to give you good dreams. Met him twice at cons, the main artist I sought out, the one I was able his work on to pass on to my kids and they actually like. Sergio is the greatest.

  • @seannyhan2254

    What an amazing, heart-warming interview. This made my day. So many fantastic stories, but my favorite moment was Jim and Ed saying "Joe Kubert" in unison.

    Man, Sergio is an absolute treasure. Thank you guys for landing the interview and please pass along the thanks of the fans to him for taking the time to sit down for this interview with you. The guy is 84 and is still full of passion and joy for cartooning. Incredible.

  • @stevena488
    @stevena488 2 роки тому +38

    Sergio is an absolute delight of a human being and I could listen to him for hours. The second I saw Groo was the second I fell back in love with comics again after thinking that Superheroes were stupid (I then got into comix proper with Crumb and Shelton). And he was one of the BIGGEST influences on one of my favourite Mangaka with Monkey Punch. Jim, Ed? Thank you so much for this.

  • @squinkque
    @squinkque 2 роки тому +19

    Such a modest, unassuming guy. Man Sergio we could watch you for hours' more time. Sergio Aragones has been a hero of mine since I was a kid in the 70's & I still buy everything I can get my hands on w/his art work in it. The man is a Giant of Cartooning in my book. Long may you live, Sergio.

    Sergio is looking great! I love Groo, and my kids love Groo too.
    I wish that he would animate the comics. His stories and characters are comedy gold!

  • @benhillman8384
    @benhillman8384 2 роки тому +12

    What an incredible interview to get! Not just a singular illustrator and charming storyteller (Look at the Groo volume where two towns escalate to a war over the industrial revolution- structurally incredible) but also an incredibly influential link in the evolutionary chain of the medium. Truly special, thanks dudes.

    This is my favorite shoot interview so far he was the first cartoonist i knew by name, because he was latin and his name was the only one i could pronounce from mad magazine. what a great guy!

    @anarkyink1943 2 місяці тому

    I've been staring at this man's work since I was 12. I'm from the Philippines so we didn't know about Mad magazine that much but I used to dig thru magazine bins at book sales because I loved reading his tiny comics that littered the gutters between the frames of the whole magazine. Spies vs Sabs page spreads were a feast to look at. I wish I had more of his work. I'm a cartoonist now as well partly thanks to Sergio Aragones.

  • @marknoahsotelo316
    @marknoahsotelo316 7 місяців тому

    What a class act! When I was a little kid , Sergio signed my program for comic con and drew me a cartoon. He’s a very nice guy. I also had lunch with Jack Kirby and had my Superman re-print signed by Joe Shuster. What a weekend that was!

  • @sergiorivera1656
    @sergiorivera1656 2 роки тому +12

    Digging it, digging it. Last week an animation legend, today Aragones. Good God, as always you guys are knocking it out of the park. I got a supreme feeling that Stan Sakai will be showing up one day, and who knows maybe Frank Miller will be the first shoot of 2022.

  • @PaulDGreen
    @PaulDGreen 2 роки тому +4

    Sergio is such a genuine article. I've been collecting Groo since I was 10. 30 years ago. It is such a joy discovering even more works of Sergio and collecting. Such a big fan. Thank you for making this video!

  • @therealmegabros
    @therealmegabros 2 роки тому +7

    Sweet, I used to buy mad magazine specifically for the Sergio art. Then I found Groo and a superhero comic he made for a short time as well.

    You guys are truly doing the work of artistic gods & I don't have the words to thank you enough for what you do. Your channel is exactly what I needed to find recently & it's only inspired me even more to put the pen to paper each day. Can't thank you guys enough for creating this platform; so much knowledge in every episode.

  • @californioxochipilli
    @californioxochipilli Рік тому

    For some reason, he was on my mind...
    Born in 1970, I grew up with Mad Magazine and the books they published.
    Sergio was always one of my favorite.
    Glad to see this interview, really warmed my heart.
    I really hope to "age well" with such a happy spirit.
    He's a real sweet soul.

  • @Wolfinger1935
    @Wolfinger1935 Рік тому

    I met Mr. Aragonés at a convention a few years back. It was purely by happenstance... I didn't know he was there... just happened to be walking by his table. I immediately turned into a 12 year old fanboy. I hadn't read MAD magazine in probably 30 or 40 years, yet this gentlemen was such an influential part of my childhood. I spoke with him briefly and he was as charming and warm a character as he he is in this interview. I am not easily impressed by celebrities, but I was thrilled to meet him.
    Great interview.

    • @jyrkivainio425
      @jyrkivainio425 2 роки тому +1

      He has a legendary story about performing with them, in a pool, in a gorilla suit. He's drawn it as a comic in a book called Streetwise (that also has that pencilled story Jack Kirby did about his childhood, with that double-page spread street scene).

  • @halinahetman6407
    @halinahetman6407 2 роки тому

    Read a few collections of his silent strips, and this heart-felt, deep conversation with talented, hard-working, cultured, and most of all humble living legend made me crave for more. Loved the idea of graphic memoirs by Sergio Aragones!

    Sergio
    I have done my best to collect all of your collected works. One of them came from Amazon used books. Inside was an original drawing you did of yourself and Asked E Neuman. And you signed it. It was done on a clipping from a newspaper announcing your appearance at a book signing in San Francisco in the 1980's. I cherish it. I almost fell over when I found it. I think the book seller missed it. I'm a cartoonist and you're one of my main influencers. Such a pleasure watching this video. Stay well and safe and the same to your family. Thank you for all the joy you bring. Please do another interview. I could have listened for hours more.

Small correction… Ziraldo (cartoonist he mentioned) is Brazilian and not Argentinian. All good. Definitely need a part 2, 3 and 4 of this.

  • @ivane5110
    @ivane5110 2 роки тому +3

    Awesome interview. He's just as colorful and charming as you grow up picturing as a kid then as an adult hoping but accepting probably isn't that way. Great to see young Ivan had it right. and great job letting him talk and spin his yarns without stepping on them or forcing the interview in some specific direction at the cost of getting the full Aragones joy.

    Had the real pleasure of meeting him at a small convention years ago. Spent 30 mins in awe looking at his original pages. All the while he spent time chatting with my daughter and I who was 12. He was a such a delight gifted a Rufferto magnetic . Which still lives on my fridge door. Love the Kayfabe spotlight on him. The man is a legend!

    I have never really been too big on feeling I need to meet creators whose work I enjoy. But after reading Groo for decades, I wanted to go talk to Sergio at a Con. He WAS THE SINGLE NICEST PERSON I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE and he had all the time in the the world for me. All those crazy funny Groo comics I had read, and he himself was like a character that had jumped right off the page. One of the best memories of my life. Sergio is a treasure.

  • @stampscapes
    @stampscapes 2 роки тому +1

    Sergio was one of the guests at a Creation Events comic convention in the early 80's and I've always remembered how nice he was. Shows back then weren't like they are now so at times he was just walking around and you could walk up to him, get his autograph and he'd chat with you, ask your name, etc.. Knew him from Mad and I think Groo had just came out but he was also doing drawings on the TV show Real People (?) where they would be going to commercial break around that time.
