The sale will be finalized immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A consent decree between the FCC, the University of San Francisco and CPRN allowed the sale to move forward. The FCC did not object to CPRN broadcasting on 90.3 while the sale was pending, but found that CPRN’s payments to USF (similar to rent) under the Public Service Operating Agreement violated a Commission rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sale provides the University of San Francisco with funds that will directly benefit our students, and support our mission of offering an outstanding education in the Jesuit Catholic tradition,” said Gary McDonald, associate vice president of communications. “We are pleased that the FCC has completed its review in a manner that allows the sale to close and for USF to focus on its core mission of education and service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/06/07/usf-says-kusf-sale-approved/#swirnoff\">\u003cstrong>KUSF-in-Exile responds\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Here's the \u003ca href=\"http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2012/db0607/DA-12-725A1.pdf\">FCC statement\u003c/a>, which says that \"USF and CPRN will collectively make a $50,000 voluntary contribution to the United States Treasury\" because of its violation of the agency's rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just last week, the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/05/29/16-months-after-sale-of-kusf-fcc-still-hasnt-okd-deal/\">Bay Citizen reported\u003c/a> that FCC approval of the $3.75 million sale was taking unusually long. KUSF and CPRN inked the deal in January, 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s extremely unusual,” Michael Couzens, an Oakland-based communications lawyer and former FCC staffer told the Citizen. “The mentality of the staff is shaped by the fact that commercial entities lose their financing if they dink and dunk around for months and years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sale was part of a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/01/18/kusf-to-leave-air-move-to-online-online-broadast/\">complicated series of transactions\u003c/a> that shook up the radio dial in the Bay Area last year. The KUSF deal set off vociferous protests by the station's staff and fans. Many of the DJs and programmers moved to the online-only KUSF in Exile (\u003ca href=\"http://savekusf.org/listen-to-kusf-in-exile\">listen here\u003c/a>), an effort to keep the music playing while KUSF's sale of its license awaited FCC approval. In February, 2011, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/EarBud/archives/2011/02/10/san-francisco-board-of-supervisors-protests-the-sale-of-kusf\">San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution\u003c/a> urging USF to back out of the deal. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KUSF had been part of the Bay Area radio landscape since 1963 and an important student-run college radio station since 1977, when it began broadcasting on 90.3 FM. The station's free-form, esoteric programming attracted many loyal listeners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The KUSF sale is part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/college-radio-day-an-sos-save-our-stations/2011/10/11/gIQApqLidL_story.html\">trend in which universities have sold off their radio stations\u003c/a>. At the time of the sale, KQED's Nina Thorsen talked to former KUSF Music Director Irwin Swirnoff about why he thought college radio was important. Here's what he said: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I think a college with a licensed radio station has a unique opportunity to link the university into the city in which its participating and engaging with. At KUSF that's exactly what was happening. We had programming in 12 different languages, really unique and forward thinking music programming. This allowed student and faculty to engage with what's happening on campus but make those connections throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we're ultimately fighting is not so much USF deciding it wants to sell the station, but shutting out the community that ran the station and doing it behind our backs and not allowing the community and students and faculty to come together and raise the money to buy the transmitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We think the station is an asset that provides the ability to attract new students and to use it as a living laboratory, so that you're no longer just talking about ideas but you're actually putting them into action and producing shows that connect directly with what you're learning in the classroom.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>USF, for its part, has pointed to KUSF's continuing as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.kusf.org/\">online radio station\u003c/a>. And classical music fans have been able to listen to their genre of choice on KDFC 90.3. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"swirnoff\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2:23 p.m.\u003c/strong> I talked to Irwin Swirnoff, who was a music director at KUSF before the sale and who's been active in \u003ca href=\"http://savekusf.org/listen-to-kusf-in-exile\">KUSF-in-Exile\u003c/a>, where he continues to host his old Friday show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's very disheartening,\" Swirnoff said about today's announcement. \"I think that the slap on the wrist [the FCC] gave the parties in the deal – fining them $50,000 - was not what should have happened.

The station's free-form, esoteric programming attracted many loyal listeners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The KUSF sale is part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/college-radio-day-an-sos-save-our-stations/2011/10/11/gIQApqLidL_story.html\">trend in which universities have sold off their radio stations\u003c/a>. At the time of the sale, KQED's Nina Thorsen talked to former KUSF Music Director Irwin Swirnoff about why he thought college radio was important. Here's what he said: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I think a college with a licensed radio station has a unique opportunity to link the university into the city in which its participating and engaging with. At KUSF that's exactly what was happening. We had programming in 12 different languages, really unique and forward thinking music programming. This allowed student and faculty to engage with what's happening on campus but make those connections throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we're ultimately fighting is not so much USF deciding it wants to sell the station, but shutting out the community that ran the station and doing it behind our backs and not allowing the community and students and faculty to come together and raise the money to buy the transmitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We think the station is an asset that provides the ability to attract new students and to use it as a living laboratory, so that you're no longer just talking about ideas but you're actually putting them into action and producing shows that connect directly with what you're learning in the classroom.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>USF, for its part, has pointed to KUSF's continuing as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.kusf.org/\">online radio station\u003c/a>. And classical music fans have been able to listen to their genre of choice on KDFC 90.3. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"swirnoff\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2:23 p.m.\u003c/strong> I talked to Irwin Swirnoff, who was a music director at KUSF before the sale and who's been active in \u003ca href=\"http://savekusf.org/listen-to-kusf-in-exile\">KUSF-in-Exile\u003c/a>, where he continues to host his old Friday show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's very disheartening,\" Swirnoff said about today's announcement. \"I think that the slap on the wrist [the FCC] gave the parties in the deal – fining them $50,000 - was not what should have happened. What the FCC approved is something that's really scary and really bad for the future of true local community radio.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, Swirnoff said, the protest to save KUSF was worth it. \"The parties involved really thought this was going to be a slam dunk and we showed them otherwise.

Arneson, who simply said he was a realist sculptor who \"doesn't deal with illusion,\" received death threats.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Chron's John King described it this way in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/05/22/BAUA10QEG0.DTL\">2008 column\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The ceramic sculpture commissioned for $37,000 captured Moscone's ebullient personality - and sat atop a pedestal adorned with crude allusions to the killings, such as blood-like splatters of red glaze and the words \"BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Moscone, of course, was killed by ex-San Francisco Supervisor Dan White right after White killed Harvey Milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neal Benezra, Director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, told KQED's Stephanie Martin on Friday that \"a lot of people are really curious about it and spending a lot of time looking at the bust in quite a serious way.\" Here's an edited version of that interview, which touched on both the controversy that erupted in 1981 when the bust was first commissioned, and the sculpture's aesthetic merits...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Who's Robert Arneson and where does the bust fit into his overall body of work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEAL BENEZRA\u003c/strong>: Robert Arneson is a ceramic sculptor and a leading figure in the Bay area art movement. He taught for many years at UC Davis and had quite a long and very important career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arneson was commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission to create a portrait bust of the late mayor George Moscone for the Moscone Center as it was approaching completion in 1981.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He always made work that had a kind of serious humor about it. The assassination of Moscone and Harvey Milk was obviously one of the most traumatic moments in the history of this city, but I think he was probably surprised by the depth of feeling that still resided considering these twin assassinations. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: What about the sculpture provoked people so much?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEAL BENEZRA\u003c/strong>: What stirred all the controversy was the graffiti-like inscriptions that Arneson attached to the pedestal on which the bust sits. So you can walk around it and read the whole history of Moscone's life – it's kind of a cryptic biography, if you will -- where he went to school, when he got married, his family names, his wife's name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then it gets into the facts of his assassination and the trial of Dan White that followed. It's one thing to know facts, but when you see them imprinted on a work of art in a kind of historical way, it takes on another meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I've come to believe it wasn't so much the pedestal bust and what Arneson inscribed into it that was so troublesome, it was the fact that Dan White seemed to have received such a modest sentence for these terrible crimes. And it kind of scraped open a wound that had only recently begun to heal. It stirred that emotion and that passion that this had not been a trial that had been fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So to me it's less the art than the memory of the fact that made the piece so powerful and in fact so controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The piece was presented in the Moscone Center. The purchase had not yet been approved by the San Francisco Arts commission. My understanding is the commission decided, probably after a conversation with the new mayor Dianne Feinstein, that it was simply not appropriate at the time. I know the mayor felt it was time to heal the wounds that this terrible episode had rubbed raw, and it was felt that this did not help in that regard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the piece was rejected by the arts commission. It went back to the artist and was then on the private art market for a period of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were able to acquire it after many attempts to acquire it by me and our senior curator of painting and sculpture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Why did you want it to be part of your permanent collection so badly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEAL BENEZRA\u003c/strong>: It's very important for a number of reasons. First it's a historical document of this moment in the history of San Francisco. But I don't think that would be enough of a reason for us to acquire it. It's got to be a great work of art as well. And it has the same power, I would argue, 31 years after its making as it did in 1981. It still has an incredible visual presence and great power as a work of art. I think one has to be impressed by the beauty of the bust. It's an incredible likeness of Moscone, with a big smile on his face. The ceramic glazes are handled extraordinarily well, with a beautiful surface, and it's great to look at.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other thing that should be said is we're in the process of expanding, and one of the things we're very committed to doing is creating the definitive collection of California and specifically Bay Area art. And our holdings of Arneson's work are improved immeasurably by this; it will become one of the cornerstones of our collection of California art.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Christopher Moscone, George's son who was 16 at the time of the assassination, told the Chronicle this: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a slap in the face to me, my mother, brother and sisters. Completely insensitive and just not appropriate for public art. But with the passage of time, I think this is probably a good place for it now. Artists want to provoke passion and feeling, and he definitely achieved that.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Arneson, who simply said he was a realist sculptor who \"doesn't deal with illusion,\" received death threats.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Chron's John King described it this way in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/05/22/BAUA10QEG0.DTL\">2008 column\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The ceramic sculpture commissioned for $37,000 captured Moscone's ebullient personality - and sat atop a pedestal adorned with crude allusions to the killings, such as blood-like splatters of red glaze and the words \"BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Moscone, of course, was killed by ex-San Francisco Supervisor Dan White right after White killed Harvey Milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neal Benezra, Director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, told KQED's Stephanie Martin on Friday that \"a lot of people are really curious about it and spending a lot of time looking at the bust in quite a serious way.\" Here's an edited version of that interview, which touched on both the controversy that erupted in 1981 when the bust was first commissioned, and the sculpture's aesthetic merits...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Who's Robert Arneson and where does the bust fit into his overall body of work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEAL BENEZRA\u003c/strong>: Robert Arneson is a ceramic sculptor and a leading figure in the Bay area art movement. He taught for many years at UC Davis and had quite a long and very important career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arneson was commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission to create a portrait bust of the late mayor George Moscone for the Moscone Center as it was approaching completion in 1981.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He always made work that had a kind of serious humor about it. The assassination of Moscone and Harvey Milk was obviously one of the most traumatic moments in the history of this city, but I think he was probably surprised by the depth of feeling that still resided considering these twin assassinations. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: What about the sculpture provoked people so much?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEAL BENEZRA\u003c/strong>: What stirred all the controversy was the graffiti-like inscriptions that Arneson attached to the pedestal on which the bust sits. So you can walk around it and read the whole history of Moscone's life – it's kind of a cryptic biography, if you will -- where he went to school, when he got married, his family names, his wife's name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then it gets into the facts of his assassination and the trial of Dan White that followed. It's one thing to know facts, but when you see them imprinted on a work of art in a kind of historical way, it takes on another meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I've come to believe it wasn't so much the pedestal bust and what Arneson inscribed into it that was so troublesome, it was the fact that Dan White seemed to have received such a modest sentence for these terrible crimes. And it kind of scraped open a wound that had only recently begun to heal. It stirred that emotion and that passion that this had not been a trial that had been fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So to me it's less the art than the memory of the fact that made the piece so powerful and in fact so controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The piece was presented in the Moscone Center. The purchase had not yet been approved by the San Francisco Arts commission. My understanding is the commission decided, probably after a conversation with the new mayor Dianne Feinstein, that it was simply not appropriate at the time. I know the mayor felt it was time to heal the wounds that this terrible episode had rubbed raw, and it was felt that this did not help in that regard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the piece was rejected by the arts commission. It went back to the artist and was then on the private art market for a period of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were able to acquire it after many attempts to acquire it by me and our senior curator of painting and sculpture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Why did you want it to be part of your permanent collection so badly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEAL BENEZRA\u003c/strong>: It's very important for a number of reasons. First it's a historical document of this moment in the history of San Francisco. But I don't think that would be enough of a reason for us to acquire it. It's got to be a great work of art as well. And it has the same power, I would argue, 31 years after its making as it did in 1981. It still has an incredible visual presence and great power as a work of art. I think one has to be impressed by the beauty of the bust. It's an incredible likeness of Moscone, with a big smile on his face. The ceramic glazes are handled extraordinarily well, with a beautiful surface, and it's great to look at.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other thing that should be said is we're in the process of expanding, and one of the things we're very committed to doing is creating the definitive collection of California and specifically Bay Area art. And our holdings of Arneson's work are improved immeasurably by this; it will become one of the cornerstones of our collection of California art.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Christopher Moscone, George's son who was 16 at the time of the assassination, told the Chronicle this: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But his piece — which he presented as the literal truth on stage, in media appearances, and on \u003cem>This American Life\u003c/em> — turned out to be a hyperbolic narrative about labor conditions at Foxconn that used significant fictional elements, when in fact the story was \u003ca href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/460/retraction?act=3\">more nuanced\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003cem>This American Life\u003c/em>, which had aired the piece in its entirety, ran an \u003ca href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/play_full.php?play=460&podcast=1\">excruciatingly uncomfortable segment\u003c/a> confronting Daisey on the fabrications, Daisey struck back in a blog post:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Especially galling is how many are gleefully eager to dance on my grave expressly so they can return to ignoring everything about the circumstances under which their devices are made.

University officials responded with hundreds of pages of e-mails and other correspondence related to the sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FCC has not commented on the documents it received in response to its letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kusf.org/\">Listen to KUSF\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://savekusf.org/\">Listen to 'KUSF in Exile'\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The FCC’s silence has bolstered Friends of KUSF, which hopes the commission calls for hearings to debate current regulation regarding noncommercial radio. The sale of KUSF is only one of many college radio station\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>sales over the past few years, as cash-strapped colleges now see a revenue opportunity by selling their licenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To those working to halt the sale of KUSF, the sale of community radio stations to classical or religious networks (the primary buyers) presents a grave threat to the radio ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No news is still good news,” said Kenya Lewis, a volunteer for Save KUSF, another group working to keep the station alive. “It speaks to the complexity of the issues raised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the San Francisco classical station KDFC – which was facing closure as a commercial property – the fact that USF wanted to sell its license was a positive thing. In almost every big commercial radio market, classical stations have either shifted to a nonprofit fundraising model or have died all together, leaving local classical fans, as well as institutions like the symphony and opera, without a powerful outlet.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">While the deal remains unconsummated, federal rules prohibit KDFC from conducting on-air pledge drives – a huge loss as it attempts to remake itself as a nonprofit.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But while the deal remains unconsummated, federal rules prohibit KDFC from conducting on-air pledge drives – a huge loss as it attempts to remake itself as a nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The KUSF delay has definitely impacted us, and we hope the FCC will come to a decision soon,” said Brenda Barnes, president of KUSC, which owns most of the San Francisco classical station. “The primary impact is that we have not been able to fundraise on the station.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, fans of both KUSF and KDFC can only watch and wait. However, Couzens said the “train wreck” of bad publicity and legal arguments engendered by the shuttering of KUSF already represents a win for those seeking to stave off further college radio station sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m optimistic that the KUSF brouhaha will make some other university licensees think long and hard before going down this path,” he said. “Even if the transfer is finally approved, they’ve done a great thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

It was out of a zombie movie where there was just nobody on the street. It was a Tuesday afternoon. And we finally saw one guy kind of wandering in the distance, and I thought that's kind of like an Edward Hopper painting come to life. And I thought what a lonely, sad place I live in, and yet in a way that I find enthralling. That has a certain Hollywood magic in it.

You go down there and it's really kind of a beautiful spot and it's well designed and set up for people to hang out, and you're taking your little five-year-old son there, and all of a sudden there's giant letters, obscene graffiti everywhere. And somehow it's perfect. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LAURA SYDELL\u003c/strong>: The Tribune tower pops up now and again in your work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DANIEL CLOWES\u003c/strong>: That's kind of the only architectural icon of Oakland.

I don’t want to have to get the geography correct, where he's turning a corner and he's on a street that he couldn't possibly be on, while in the middle of the same thought, I don’t want to be beholden to that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I keep it somewhat abstract. I want to suggest rather than document. I certainly don't go out and take photos and try to slavishly copy the photos; I try to memorize things and draw things from memory. Because it's really more about my brain interpreting the space rather than trying to just draw it accurately. There's no real point in that; you might as well just try to take a photo. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's funny how when you draw that way, things become very clear. I can look back at panels 20 years later and know exactly what I was trying to get at with only a few lines. It's a much better way to work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can keep it all in my head and sort of have a reference of anything. It's almost like in [old] Hollywood, you'd have four guys you could pick from to be the drunk-comedy-relief-cowboy's sidekick, and it would inevitably be one of those four guys. You wouldn't go out and try to pick somebody new; it was a stable of archetypes. Oakland has that quality. There's one or two of everything and you can kind of cast them in that way, and it makes everything much simpler. My brain can't process anything more complicated than Oakland, I think.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Related\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.drawnandquarterly.com/imagesPreview/a4b4b5cebd9151.pdf\">Daniel Clowes' \"Meet Wilson\"\u003c/a> (pdf)\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\n\n",

But over the last few decades, comics have grown up; they're even released in longer formats, on nice paper with hard covers, as graphic novels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Clowes is one of the artists cited for turning the form into serious art — in fact, the art has gotten so serious that his work is now in a museum. Clowes is one of the best-known comic artists working today, with two of his books made into Hollywood films: the Academy Award-nominated Ghost World and Art School Confidential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clowes never aimed to be the kind of artist museums collect. But now, the walls of the Oakland Museum of California are covered with his drawings.

Do you like Oakland? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DANIEL CLOWES\u003c/strong>: I love Oakland. I feel very comfortable here. I feel like it's sort of a decent bunch of people. You feel like the default person you might meet is like a vegan who rides a unicycle. It seems like a nice place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whenever I go visit some other city, like back in the Midwest, I'm always shocked to see Sarah Palin bumper stickers or something like that.

Which should be the bustling seaport of Oakland. And we went down there, and we were walking down the train tracks at Jack London Square and there was not a soul to be seen. It was out of a zombie movie where there was just nobody on the street. It was a Tuesday afternoon. And we finally saw one guy kind of wandering in the distance, and I thought that's kind of like an Edward Hopper painting come to life. And I thought what a lonely, sad place I live in, and yet in a way that I find enthralling. That has a certain Hollywood magic in it. There's a poetry in it that's hard to imagine in a lot of other cities.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You go down there and it's really kind of a beautiful spot and it's well designed and set up for people to hang out, and you're taking your little five-year-old son there, and all of a sudden there's giant letters, obscene graffiti everywhere. And somehow it's perfect. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LAURA SYDELL\u003c/strong>: The Tribune tower pops up now and again in your work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DANIEL CLOWES\u003c/strong>: That's kind of the only architectural icon of Oakland. It's not like anyone else in the world would recognize it, but somehow it has status to people who've actually lived here. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LAURA SYDELL\u003c/strong>: To what degree do you want anything in your comic books to be undeniably Oakland? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DANIEL CLOWES\u003c/strong>: Well Wilson is sort of explicitly Oakland. I don’t want to have to get the geography correct, where he's turning a corner and he's on a street that he couldn't possibly be on, while in the middle of the same thought, I don’t want to be beholden to that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I keep it somewhat abstract. I want to suggest rather than document. I certainly don't go out and take photos and try to slavishly copy the photos; I try to memorize things and draw things from memory. Because it's really more about my brain interpreting the space rather than trying to just draw it accurately. There's no real point in that; you might as well just try to take a photo. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's funny how when you draw that way, things become very clear. I can look back at panels 20 years later and know exactly what I was trying to get at with only a few lines. It's a much better way to work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can keep it all in my head and sort of have a reference of anything. It's almost like in [old] Hollywood, you'd have four guys you could pick from to be the drunk-comedy-relief-cowboy's sidekick, and it would inevitably be one of those four guys. You wouldn't go out and try to pick somebody new; it was a stable of archetypes. Oakland has that quality. There's one or two of everything and you can kind of cast them in that way, and it makes everything much simpler. My brain can't process anything more complicated than Oakland, I think.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
