NPR Interview with Gene Yang

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18328964

Scroll down a bit for the actual interview. Highlights include Yang discusses the place of Kinko’s in the comic book industry and his roots as a “minicomic artist”, as well as cartoonists like Scott Adams (Dilbert) and Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) who aren’t supertalented artists but are effective cartoonists. He also discusses some of the influences that went into the character of Chin Kee (including, apparently a cartoon by Pat Oliphant). Check out the Audio Slideshow too.
