Bone writer Jeff Smith interviews (Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet)
Today the Norwegian newspaper "Dagbladet" arranged a net meeting with Jeff Smith, author of the Bone series. Poeple could send in their questions, and hope for an answer. Most of the questions are understandably about the comic, therefore I'm posting it in chit chat. A little comment on Telltale in there though..
There arn't that many interesting questions, but I thought you'd like to read it anyway..
Original article in Dagbladet is in Norgwegian, but the questions and answers are, udnerstandably, in English.

Thank you
for opening the world of comics. When I started reading Bone I realized you can draw a whole book, not just 40 pages for fun. Thank you!

You are welcome! It looks like I have to run, now, but thank you all for your questions. I hope to see you at the bok i sentrum tomorrow!
Jeff

Norwegian tranzlations
Hi, I simply love your cartoon Bone!!! My all time favorite! For me it has been a slight frustration though that so little of it has been translated into Norwegian. Will this ever happen?

Good news! Egmont has just released a magnificent Norwegian edition that is bigger, better than anything I've seen. And in full color! Come tomorrow at 3 to the bok i sentrum, and we will premiere it!

Smiley
First of all I want to say that Bone is some of the best comics I've ever read, I've read through it almost ten times.
Second after reading through it I've been really facinated with the Smiley Bone character, I just can't decide. Is he really smart, really stupid or both?
Innsendt av: Peder
What a really good question!
Jeff
Marvelous
Hi, I really enjoy your work Mr. Smith; the ingenious way you bring life into your toons and the humor they radiate. Is there any chance you'll ever do something together with Gaiman, who is another fairytale hero of mine. He is perhaps a tad more gloomy than you, but in my fantasy the couple of you could work out marvels.
Innsendt av: Frank M
I would love to. Never even occurred to me before.
Jeff
More Bone?
Thanks for a great adventure story in Bone!!
Do you plan on making any more Bone stories? Either additional prequels or further adventures with "the Bones"?
Thanks.
Innsendt av: Christian
Oh. yes.
Jeff
Movie
I love Bone very much. It's literrally changed my life during the years, and still keeps on surprising me when it comes to both the fantastic story and the beautiful artwork. Anyway, my question is this: Is there a Bone movie in the making? And if there is, who will star in it, and when will we be able to see it?
Innsendt av: Marius Jacobsen
No movie in the immediate future. Sorry!
Jeff

Bonegame
Hi!
Are you satisfied with how the game turned out? I havenĀ“t played it, but I hope the great story and characters from the books are kept in focus. Too many computer games care only about fighting and action, instead of good storytelling.
Innsendt av: Mathias
Telltale Games is founded on the idea that people will like story based games.
Jeff
Jeez
Hi Jeff.
I miss the little green bug. any plans for him? and what about your homepageshop and other Bonestuff besides comics? I so much want the cap with my little green friend.
Thumbs up, Kalle
Innsendt av: Kalle
Keep your eyes open for new things at the Boneville.com shop page...

Dc and the future
Hi. I read the whole Bone series a few years ago, and I was amazed! It really hit me as a comical adventure, but with an incredible suspense (the hooded one creeped the s**t out of me!!). You could really watch the characters grow as the story progressed, and I was blown away! And now you're workin at DC? What are your current/future projects? Writing, drawing, both?
Innsendt av: Big T
My Shazam!mini-series will come out this year and my creator owned series will start some time in early 2008
Jeff
Bone the Movie

Innsendt av: Uncle Tom
Not bad...
Jeff
Hello
I love Bone. Will you keep making small stories from the universe like the one with the uncle?
Innsendt av: Dragee
I hope so!

I've never quite liked Bone. But I like Giraffes. Could you create a new Bone comic with some Giraffes in it?
Innsendt av: Bolleh
I'm not a big fan of people named Bolleh. But I also like giraffes. Maybe you could change your name to Giraffe and we would both be happy.
Jeff
Literacy
How important do you think graphic novels like Bone ais when it comes to encouraging children to develop their reading skills in general?
And who's your favourite character?
Innsendt av: Britt Elin
A teacher could probably answer your question better, but I can tell you that I and many people I know learned to read because of comics. And we all went on to read books like Moby Dick.
Jeff
Hi
Will you ever make a comic based on characters you have created yourself again?
Innsendt av: Troll
I have started to work on a new story about a man who is on the run. It will be a science fiction story about characters I create.
Jeff
More Bone?
First of all, thank you so much for the most wonderful cartoonbooks ever made. I've read them all several times, and I discover new funny details every time.
And so the question; are you ever going to write more about "the bones"? I really wish there were more books to read about them. And about the dragons as well. The "Rose" book was brilliant, but what about the dragons? I really want to know more about them!!
And again, I love your work!
Innsendt av: Bonelover
Charles Vess, who painted the ROSE book has told me he would like to do a sequel to ROSE. If we do, you will learn more about the dragons!
Jeff
boner

Yes.

Cannot find book number 9
Hello.
I have been collecting the graphic novels version of bone. I got book 1-8, but I just cannot find the last book anywhere. Where can I get it?
Innsendt av: Stig
You can try Amazon.com or e-bay. Many comic shops stil have them. Good luck!
Jeff
inspiration.
Lord of the Rings meets Don Rosa's Donald Duck, would you agreee with that assesment?
Other then that, thanks for a great story, and for printing the whole story in one volume.
Innsendt av: Tore Slinning
I would agree! I recently described BONE to a French journalist as Asterix meets Heavy Metal. What do you think of that ?
