	Sarah Dyer, Evan Dorkin, & Space Ghost
		Sarah Dyer and Evan Dorkin are best known (don't call 'em "famous"!) in the world of comics, she for Action Girl, he for Milk and Cheese and Pirate Corp$.
		Evan: Well, that's the thing, I mean, it was just one of those blips on the entertainment screen, I mean, The Jerky Boys—they made prank phone calls, but they give them a movie where they script prank phone calls.
		Evan: I think that was the episode done by Letterman guys and they tend to like to make fun of people with accents.

	X-E - X-E Interview: Evan Dorkin (Space Ghost C2C, Milk Cheese, Supergirl, Etc..)
		Dorkin: Milk and Cheese were two characters I came up with on a drunken whim, I drew them on a cocktail napkin in a Manhattan restaurant at about 3 am after a ska show at CBGB's.
		Dorkin: Well, they wouldn't be ska albums, as much as I love the genre I wouldn't want to listen to "pick it up, pick it up, pick it up" over and over for the rest of my days.
		Dorkin: I never really watched much of that stuff, I'm familiar with the characters but they started coming out when I was getting a little past watching cartoons and started looking to go to shows, get drunk and get rejected by girls.

	Evan Dorkin feature
		Dorkin, best known as the creator of the Milk and Cheese comics, is currently working on three toy projects, one of which is slated for completion in only a few weeks.

		This unique designer toy event involves a host of talents from the comics industry, all of whom are free to create to their hearts content.

		Dorkin has definitely captured the basic idea of the character, with a twisted mix of violence and humor that fits right in with the sensibilities of Gail's run, and Bobillo and Sosa likewise have the same cartoony and exaggerated style that made Udon such a good fit.
		Dorkin embraces the ridiculousness of the whole premise, and while there may not be any deep story arc stuff going on underneath, that doesn't mean the whole thing is empty.
		Dorkin and company have created a story that has the same rapid-fire funny as Simone and Udon, and they seem to have grasped the two most important elements of the character, which are to my mind strangeness and a shameless level of violence.

	Evan Dorkin: Hectic Artist
		Dorkin: I've actually done work here and there for the bigger companies ever since I started doing comics, I was able to do comics full-time in '91 between a Dark Horse Predator gig and a year's run doing the Bill And Ted's comic for Marvel.
		Dorkin: I disagree with you there, on the whole the majority of so-called indy or alternative comics out there are more mainstream in content and genre than the niche wonkiness of superhero soap opera and fight scenes.
		Dorkin: She is. Glad you liked the pin-up, I was actually very happy with it.

	Comics2Film: The Eltingville Club (Archives)
		Dorkin did say they are in talks with a band to record the theme song for the show, but is currently not at liberty to say who it is. "It's a favorite band of mine, but not a household name combo, although they should be by all rights.
		Dorkin remains mum about who the band is, telling us only that it's a lesser-known group that he's a big fan of.
		Dorkin tells us that the Eltingville Club strips were always intended to be finite and, when the story is finished, all the strips will appear in one collection.

	Ink 19 :: Vertical Composition :: Josh Sullivan's 2003 Small Press Expo Adventure
		The whole day, I kept eyeing the Slave Labor Graphics tables looking at Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, wondering what the hell I was going to say to them.
		Evan has been my idol since I was 14 (yeah, I look 14 now but I'm 21) and I had never met him before.
		Evan wondered if Boxcar Willie (what he called my dad) was watching my table and I told him I actually didn't know where the hell he went off to.

	Comics2Film: Skeleton Key (Archives)
		Evan Dorkin recently announced that he and Sarah Dyer have negotiated a deal to develop a TV pilot based on his Eltingville Comic Book, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Role-Playing Club strip.
		Dorkin and Dyer will both be highly involved with the development of the show.

	Mote MGZN -- Evan Dorkin interview
		Nine years later, Dorkin is still involved with both the mainstream and indie sides of comics.
		Dorkin is as entrenched as he's ever been in popular culture, and luckily for you and me, it still makes him crazy.
		What seems to bother Dorkin most is how comic fans cannot seem to recognize that he shares their fannish tendencies, or appreciate his own internal conflicts as they play out over the pages.

	NEWSARAMA - BILL, TED, AND EVAN DORKIN
		Dorkin also seems up to the challenge, “I'd be open to discussing writing further stories, but it would depend on my schedule - I really need to get back to work on my solo SLG series -- and who we'd get to draw a continuing series.
		Evan managed to create an upbeat work of joy, and seem to easily pull of some things that some folks would tell you Can't Be Done.
		Dorkin is such a down to earth guy, and is without a doubt, one of the funniest guys in comics.

	::suck-free interviews, y'all::
		Evan Dorkin could be described as a shorter, blonder Gary Oldman with big crab claws for hands, but it would make no sense.
		Better just to say that Evan is a skilled wise-acre, and a walking encyclopedia of comics knowledge.
		Meaning, it's pretty all right and the video where they wear outfits and walk and talk in slo-mo and take turns rapping nonsense into the fish eye lens is pretty funny.

	Evan Dorkin, the Usenet interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Evan -- Wonky...no, I picked that up from somewhere...my guess is from when I used to read Harlan Ellison a few years ago, before he stopped being a writer and became a full-time crank.
		Evan -- I don't really know what to say except there's no way M&C would be done primarily for children, or for grown up children like your average ass-backwards comics geek, either.
		Evan -- Not much fiction inspires me these days, as I'm reading less and less due to time constraints, and what I do read is almost entirely magazines, 'zines and non-fiction.

	COMICON.com: EVAN DORKIN'S DORK & THING [2003 EISNER NOM.]
		Evan Dorkin's done projects for magazines, cartoons, and both independent and mainstream comics.
		DORKIN: I was drunk in NYC, waiting for food at 2 am, hopped up from a ska show at CBGB's, and had a pen and a napkin at my disposal.
		Dorkin should be given a whole Dr. Doom series based on that head shot there.

	Zap2it - TV news - Evan Dorkin Exposes Geek Chic for Cartoon Network
		Yet, one man is daring to stand up and expose geekdom for the meaningless cult of obsessive, immature nerds that he sees beneath this veneer of cool, and he's using a cartoon do it.
		That man is Evan Dorkin, and his cartoon, "Welcome to Eltingville," premieres March 3 on Cartoon Network.
		For the record, Dorkin does indeed own such a figure, which was traded to him by a fan in exchange for some comics.

	Evan Dorkin
		Evan Dorkin is an amazing writer and artist, one of my all time favorites.
		More recently, Evan put together an animated pilot for the Cartoon Network, based on another comic he created called "The Eltingville Comic-Book, Science-Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Role-Playing Club", (of which the Aquabats did the theme song) as well as working on a comic called "Agent X" for Marvel.
		Evan: Evan Dorkin, writer and cartoonist..{laughs} nobody's ever asked it like that before.

	Agent X #10 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		A single issue of Evan Dorkin's "Milk and Cheese" is pretty much all the proof one would need to feel secure in the knowledge that he would make be an ideal fit for this series, as both properties are quite similar in tone.
		Now perhaps Evan Dorkin wasn't willing to commit to the book full time, but I'd hate to think his time on the book was cut short before the sales numbers came in.
		All in all it's pretty much all one could ask for from a book that is slated to be cancelled in a couple months, as Evan Dorkin has come on board for a couple issues, and he looks to be having a grand old time of it.

	Sequential Tart: Evan Dorkin - Them Ol' Comics (vol IV/iss 10/October 2001)
		Evan Dorkin pops up in the weirdest places.
		Dorkin has also appeared on stage at the Harveys, where he uses his sharp wit and vicious sense of humor for Good - and maybe a little Evil - as the awards night's Master of Ceremonies.
		Evan Dorkin: I would describe it as an addiction.

	Superman & Batman: World's Funnest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Evan Dorkin has a quirky view of the universe.
		Dorkin explores (or, rather, deconstructs) the parallel DC universes in an Elseworlds one-shot called World's Funnest, a spoof on the various incarnations of the Superman and Batman World's Finest team-ups over the years.
		Dorkin takes us through the World War II-era Justice Society of America (drawn by Sheldon Moldoff), Earth-3's Crime Syndicate of America (Immonen and Joe Giella) and the flag-waving Freedom Fights (Frank Cho).

	COMICON.com: EVAN, BILL, & TED AT SLG, EXCELLENT!
		I'm not saying Fabian and assistant editors Evan Skolnick and Carlos Lopez didn't care about the actual material, but we weren't working on the X-Men or Avengers, so Marvel -- and 99% of retailers and readers -- didn't care about what we did as long as it was done on time.
		In the beginning, Dorkin might not have known much about Bill and Ted, but that doesn't mean he didn't know Bill.
		Dorkin told us he isn't really thinking about doing a new Bill & Ted, but he's also not against the idea.

	Spurgeon interviews Evan Dorkin at chrisarrant.com
		I’ve been a fan of Dorkin’s for years, first discovering his strip series Milk & Cheese via a comics retailer who was part of a touring company who visited the local mall one weekend.
		Dorkin’s cartooning work shows him as a talent out of place in the Direct Market-style of comics.
		Dorkin’s the kind of talent who if I would be least surprised if some enterprenaul company outside comics plucked him from relative obscurity and made him into a huge star.

	SAVANT:: Essay
		It was the unfiltered version of the personal type with which Dorkin felt he'd been struggling for much of his 34 years.
		That was the second part of Dorkin's gift to me; I had used his work as a gateway to the incredible breadth of personal expression that was occurring in the field, from which I shall never recover.
		If he were to read this, he might be embarassed to be held accountable for someone's choice in a career, especially one so dicey as comics, even if I do someday get the chance to take him out for drinks.

	Cinescape - Home - Editorial
		Of course, Dorkin isn't exactly making the big bucks, but he can rest assured that his place in Artists' Heaven is already there waiting for him - and a certain Devil Puppet is probably sitting in his chair, smoking a ciggy and patiently biding its time.
		Dorkin is usually at his cynical best when examining the depths of desperation experienced by the poor bastards who wile away their lives in the pursuit of cheap sci-fi entertainment, video games, and countless crappy collectibles.
		The Eltingville Club is perhaps Dorkin's greatest creation after the legendary Milk & Cheese, and their return is always a welcome event.

	Agent X #10
		Dorkin does make use of the supporting cast set-up inherited from Gail Simone, and although he gives Sandi a rather drastic overhaul for plot reasons, the characterisation is pretty good.
		Since Agent X has supercharged healing abilities, that gives Dorkin the freedom to go for completely over the top Lobo-style slapstick.
		This sort of thing can easily become obnoxious and obvious, but Dorkin makes it work by having all the characters play it totally blase.

	Bob's Comics Reviews
		So far as I'm concerned Dorkin's main role in life is to keep Sarah Dyer happy and productive; but he also does comics.
		The second volume (and the remaining comic issues, #5-6) focus more on the characters-- mostly on Hal, who's in a mess over breaking up with a girl, and figures that a good strategy for dealing with his loss is to be as much of a self-centered fuckup loser as he can.
		His suggestions for improving hockey are interesting-- e.g., two pucks, pneumatic puck launchers, and ultraviolence-- but his real masterpieces are two long set pieces, one about a supermarket the size of the Pentagon, the other about Blue's experiences sitting around a police station waiting to be booked.
