TRAVIS MILLARD INTERVIEW
on August 22, 2011
What inspires you?
Friends, family, and a little troll that only I can see.
Any weird phobia’s or habits?
Oh probably, but only weird and phobic to others.
You started Fudge Factory Comics in 1997. What is it exactly?
Back then it was the result of getting fired for drawing on the job from enough employers that I figured I should just start my own factory and pretend to be working. Over time it’s grown into whatever it is today. I still almost fire myself all the time.
Where does the name (Fudge Factory Comics) come from?
I was doing a number of weird comics with different titles, Fudge Factory being one of them, and a friend encouraged me to get a website. So I was searching some titles, and Fudge Factory seemed to pull results from porn and candy sites. I figured it was probably somewhere in between there.
Your work has a lot of humor in it, but a lot of it is very dark as well, often at the same time. Is this your intention?
It’s just the way it rattles out I guess.
Your site is really well integrated with your art. The pre-loaders are awesome! Did you design it yourself?
Thanks man. I worked with my friend Mark Searcy, who is kind of a wizard with those things. We’re actually planning a revamp on the site soon, and those loaders will be coming down… going back to the trusty ol’ html.
How do you deal with stress?
If something is really bothering me, I plug my nose and mouth, squeeze my eyes tight and push hard until steam bursts from my ears. That usually helps.
What do you think the world is going to be like in 100 years?
Everyone will be hovering everywhere, all the time.
In your opinion, what is “art”?
Art is a good nickname for someone named Arthur.
