The Ojai Post

The Ojai Film Festival asked me to be their official podcaster this year, which led me to an amazing interview with Sergio Aragones, the world's fastest cartoonist and creator of the 2008 Ojai Film Festival poster and program cover. Sergio talked with me about his life as a cartoonist, his 40 years with MAD Magazine, his love of film and what brought him to Ojai 25 years ago. At 71 years old, with a handle bar mustache, long gray pony tail and deep Spanish accent, I found him to be engaging and utterly charming. If I sound a bit giddy, it's because I'm smitten!
