More Fiore

A great interview with Fiore over at the Comic Riffs blog. I found this part interesting:

So did the Chronicle nominate him, then?

"No, I nominated myself," says Fiore, who began regularly drawing for SFGate.com in 2001. "More directly, my wife [Chelsea Donovan] did. She did most of the nitty-gritty work."

Fiore says he's glad to have won the Pulitzer for the Chronicle. "I'd hooked up with the Chron before the Merc-News -- they were my first client, running my animated work in 1999," he says. "They were happy to see me come back."

Man, sounds like the Chronicle owes Chelsea a Thank You card.
