Holy shit! Amazing.

My absolute hero. Groo is the one comic consistent in my life from childhood, the best pre-bedtime reading to give you good dreams. Met him twice at cons, the main artist I sought out, the one I was able his work on to pass on to my kids and they actually like. Sergio is the greatest.

I wish this interview was 12 hours long. Thank you Ed, Jim and Sergio.

What an amazing, heart-warming interview. This made my day. So many fantastic stories, but my favorite moment was Jim and Ed saying "Joe Kubert" in unison.

Such a modest, unassuming guy. Man Sergio we could watch you for hours' more time. Sergio Aragones has been a hero of mine since I was a kid in the 70's & I still buy everything I can get my hands on w/his art work in it. The man is a Giant of Cartooning in my book. Long may you live, Sergio.

Sergio is an absolute delight of a human being and I could listen to him for hours. The second I saw Groo was the second I fell back in love with comics again after thinking that Superheroes were stupid (I then got into comix proper with Crumb and Shelton). And he was one of the BIGGEST influences on one of my favourite Mangaka with Monkey Punch. Jim, Ed? Thank you so much for this.

Man, Sergio is an absolute treasure. Thank you guys for landing the interview and please pass along the thanks of the fans to him for taking the time to sit down for this interview with you. The guy is 84 and is still full of passion and joy for cartooning. Incredible.

Who's better than Sergio? Nobody, that's who!

I have to fight back tears listening to Sergio talking. I’ve never heard such pure joy in my life.

Fujio, Jodorowsky, Gaines... incredible interview. Sergio is such an amazing storyteller.

One of my favorite interviews ever! Sergio is such a great and spirited man, awesome makes me want to keep drawing and shoot to be like him one day!

Sergio is looking great! I love Groo, and my kids love Groo too. I wish that he would animate the comics. His stories and characters are comedy gold!

You guys ....I don't know how you do it........you constantly open doors back up to memories of my childhood. Thank you. Groo and Jodorowsky..........I love being a nerd.

What an incredible interview to get! Not just a singular illustrator and charming storyteller (Look at the Groo volume where two towns escalate to a war over the industrial revolution- structurally incredible) but also an incredibly influential link in the evolutionary chain of the medium. Truly special, thanks dudes.

Sweet, I used to buy mad magazine specifically for the Sergio art. Then I found Groo and a superhero comic he made for a short time as well.

Thank you guys. Sergio just added 10 years to my life force.

What a class act! When I was a little kid , Sergio signed my program for comic con and drew me a cartoon. He’s a very nice guy. I also had lunch with Jack Kirby and had my Superman re-print signed by Joe Shuster. What a weekend that was!

Sergio is a living legend and this video was a priceless experience. Thank you.

I've been staring at this man's work since I was 12. I'm from the Philippines so we didn't know about Mad magazine that much but I used to dig thru magazine bins at book sales because I loved reading his tiny comics that littered the gutters between the frames of the whole magazine. Spies vs Sabs page spreads were a feast to look at. I wish I had more of his work. I'm a cartoonist now as well partly thanks to Sergio Aragones.

This is my favorite shoot interview so far he was the first cartoonist i knew by name, because he was latin and his name was the only one i could pronounce from mad magazine. what a great guy!

Groo was the first comic I ever bought. thanks for this 👏

El maestro!! Amazing cartoonist, one of my two favourites of all time. I was lucky enough to not only meet him a few years ago but also get to work with him. An incredible honour!

That was so heartwarming and amazing. Pays Mad 20% for their name is incredible!

Sergio is such a genuine article. I've been collecting Groo since I was 10. 30 years ago. It is such a joy discovering even more works of Sergio and collecting. Such a big fan. Thank you for making this video!

Ed, Jim, la están reventando con todas estas entrevistas ("you're killing it with all these interviews"). The great Sergio Aragonés! Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico.

Digging it, digging it. Last week an animation legend, today Aragones. Good God, as always you guys are knocking it out of the park. I got a supreme feeling that Stan Sakai will be showing up one day, and who knows maybe Frank Miller will be the first shoot of 2022.

You gotta have Sergio back on and expand on that aquatic ballet phase

This interview had me teary-eyed 5 minutes in (Mad Mexico trip) and that wasn't even the best story Sergio shared with team Cartoonist Kayfabe. Thank you! 🙏

This was the best shoot to date! Thank you so much Jim and Ed, and thank you Sergio!

that commission of Groo in the garden of earthly delights was insane beautiful i wonder how much is the commissioner paying for that piece ??? 1:41:33

Your vid’s make my day! Edit: I happened to watch the Geof Darrow video the other day, both him and Sergio seem like genuine, decent human beings.

For some reason, he was on my mind... Born in 1970, I grew up with Mad Magazine and the books they published. Sergio was always one of my favorite. Glad to see this interview, really warmed my heart. I really hope to "age well" with such a happy spirit. He's a real sweet soul.

I met Mr. Aragonés at a convention a few years back. It was purely by happenstance... I didn't know he was there... just happened to be walking by his table. I immediately turned into a 12 year old fanboy. I hadn't read MAD magazine in probably 30 or 40 years, yet this gentlemen was such an influential part of my childhood. I spoke with him briefly and he was as charming and warm a character as he he is in this interview. I am not easily impressed by celebrities, but I was thrilled to meet him. Great interview.

Amazing interview! Bravo! When Ed says he thought those toys were a Spawn collection, I lost it.

What an amazing life story Sergio has. From starting at Mad Magazine to breaking in at DC and then Groo… He is a living legend and I’m thankful you guys did this interview!

Thank you gentlemen. This interview was an absolutely wonderful gift.

My favorite interview you guys have done so far. What a dear kindred spirit. Would love to hear more of his stories. Thank you so much for providing this incredibly informative and entertaining video.

Two of the best hours I have ever spent…thanks guys….a true giant and such a gent !!!!!!!!

Read a few collections of his silent strips, and this heart-felt, deep conversation with talented, hard-working, cultured, and most of all humble living legend made me crave for more. Loved the idea of graphic memoirs by Sergio Aragones!

Oh man I can’t wait to watch this in full later. Aragones is awesome awesome. You can feel his fun and buoyant energy in the drawings too.

Sergio was one of the guests at a Creation Events comic convention in the early 80's and I've always remembered how nice he was. Shows back then weren't like they are now so at times he was just walking around and you could walk up to him, get his autograph and he'd chat with you, ask your name, etc.. Knew him from Mad and I think Groo had just came out but he was also doing drawings on the TV show Real People (?) where they would be going to commercial break around that time.

You guys are truly doing the work of artistic gods & I don't have the words to thank you enough for what you do. Your channel is exactly what I needed to find recently & it's only inspired me even more to put the pen to paper each day. Can't thank you guys enough for creating this platform; so much knowledge in every episode.

This was amazing, guys. I could hear Sergio speak for hours. And on a personal note, so happy to hear so many argentinian artists pop-up!

The first 30 min of this interview is PURE gold. Makes me wonder if there will be any stories like this in the future generations, or what it will sound like.

Not only did he absolutely steal my heart. Then that Bosch-inspired piece is the cherry on top!

I absolutely adore that man! Been a fan of Groo for decades now. Really warms my heart only knowing Sergio's still hard working at it. Usted es una grande inspiración señor! Un abrazo depuis Montréal.

Had the real pleasure of meeting him at a small convention years ago. Spent 30 mins in awe looking at his original pages. All the while he spent time chatting with my daughter and I who was 12. He was a such a delight gifted a Rufferto magnetic . Which still lives on my fridge door. Love the Kayfabe spotlight on him. The man is a legend!

Awesome interview. He's just as colorful and charming as you grow up picturing as a kid then as an adult hoping but accepting probably isn't that way. Great to see young Ivan had it right. and great job letting him talk and spin his yarns without stepping on them or forcing the interview in some specific direction at the cost of getting the full Aragones joy.

Aragones is awesome! I love his cartoons and it's a pleasure to hear him tell stories.

I don’t know why i wanted to cry like a 1000 times during the interview, man thanks Ed thanks Jim, this touched me so deeply. Mucho amor amigos del arte, mi papá y mi hermano me enseñaron a Sergio Aragonés cuando era niño, este hombre es un tesoro

Sergio Aragones is a legend among legends. This may be the greatest shoot interview in the history of the channel.

Sergio I have done my best to collect all of your collected works. One of them came from Amazon used books. Inside was an original drawing you did of yourself and Asked E Neuman. And you signed it. It was done on a clipping from a newspaper announcing your appearance at a book signing in San Francisco in the 1980's. I cherish it. I almost fell over when I found it. I think the book seller missed it. I'm a cartoonist and you're one of my main influencers. Such a pleasure watching this video. Stay well and safe and the same to your family. Thank you for all the joy you bring. Please do another interview. I could have listened for hours more.

What a wonderful man. I love Sergio. Thanks guys for such a treat.

AWESOME!!!!!!! My favorite interview! They are all great, but this one is so great! You guys just keep getting better!

The legend! We don’t see him much on media so thank you guys

Has to be one of the best interviews you gents have done, purely for Sergio’s amazing stories and warm nature. What a cartooning legend. Well done 🍻

I have never really been too big on feeling I need to meet creators whose work I enjoy. But after reading Groo for decades, I wanted to go talk to Sergio at a Con. He WAS THE SINGLE NICEST PERSON I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE and he had all the time in the the world for me. All those crazy funny Groo comics I had read, and he himself was like a character that had jumped right off the page. One of the best memories of my life. Sergio is a treasure.

The Black Hawk artist he's probably talking about is Reed Crandall.

Hell yes! Bangers! Every episode, Bangers!

Picturing Sergio, in a Paris hotel room, with his table and chair on the bed is too great!

Man, this was a blessing!! Sergio is such an amazing person and artist. Must be a blast to sit and chat with him any time. Just makes you wanna hug the guy. Small correction… Ziraldo (cartoonist he mentioned) is Brazilian and not Argentinian. All good. Definitely need a part 2, 3 and 4 of this.

1:09:52 they werent kidding about his speed. He just draws an awesome lil, mondo-styled dog in like ten seconds lmao

Such a great interview and what a great creator! This channel just keeps getting better, the stories that are being told in these shoot interviews are priceless.

Wow! I have been following your great Cartoonist Kayfabe shows for 3 years now... and this interview was so EPIC that I couldn't resist making my first comment to you all... Keep up the good work!! and super THANKS!

This was fantastic. I love these interviews. Hope you guys are able to have him on again soon.

It's the third time I watch this. Such a lovely man. I've been a Fan since the early 90's. Everybody would like to have Sergio as a friend. Me cae rebien esté señor. Una perla. Salutations depuis Montréal cher monsieur Aragones. Ce Monde est un monde meilleur avec vous en lui. Keep up the good work guy's!

Okay I just finished this, I gotta say this is now probably my favorite shoot interview you guys have ever done. Love Sergio! I can listen to him tell stories all day! I need to hunt down the comics where he draws some of these stories. I hope he does an autobiographical comic one day of his whole life.

This is the first time in my life that I’ve seen and heard Sergio talk and I wasn’t disappointed. Thanks guys.

Wonderful stories. Thank you for sharing this. Those margin cartoons still mean so much to me. What an icon and an innovator. Day dreaming about being a pirate on his boat. So good. Great studio. The Popeye shirt. Little carvings. Wow! Thank You.

Probably my favorite interview so far. What an amazing artist with such fantastic stories. Definitely looking forward to a part 2.

This interveiw was pure distilled human spirit. Thanks so much for this.

Man, what a treasure it is to get this guy on tape. I could have listened to two hours more. Legend.

Sergio just makes me happy. What a legend. ❤️

He was always my favorite artist at Mad and such a sweet man. Thank you so much for this.

GREAT INTERVIEW ED! Cant wait to have you back on my channel to talk "Hip-Hop & Comics"!

HOLY CRAP what an absolute gem!!! He is such a class act and generally fun guy. Kudos!!

What a great guy. What a great life. I have always loved his work, and this interview has deepened that love. Great interview guys.

I'm listening to this interview while packing orders. It will be re-visited once I can sit down and really absorb all this wisdom. The man is a true inspiration.

Oh man that was phenomenal! What a great interview! Thanx so much for this!

Loved this one. Legendary man, amazing stories.

I need Sergio part 2 asap. This man is a treasure!

Great job guys! I've heard Sergio interviewed several times at cons - did it myself in Helsinki - and this is the best interview I've heard from him!

This might be my favorite interview so far. It’s at least tied with the Geof Darrow one, which was my favorite until now. Great work guys

A true living LEGEND

So great! Loved all the stories, Sergio is amazing. Congrats guys!

Christmas comes early with this episode. Bravo.

You’re a legend Sergio! Thank you.

I could have listened for another hour. These 2 hours flew by so fast. Great questions guys! Sergio is a wonderful storyteller as he is an artist/cartoonist. Ever since I heard him speak on comic book greats with Stan Lee. I knew he clearly had lived a very colourful career but, I had no idea to what extent. The amount of people he met or became friends with, who we admire that are no longer here is staggering to say the least! Mr Aragones is such a genuine, charming, person who's love for cartooning has never faded after all this time. I can only hope that Groo finally gets his small screen debut in animated form, for old and new fans to enjoy in a fresh but faithful take all over again! You must have him back on for another interview sometime as I'm sure many will agree. Because his enthusiasm is so contagious! Once again, a fantastic talk. Well done!

Amazing interview with a wonderful human. Thank you guys. Thank you Sergio Sama!

ANOTHER incredible bit of natter, Gentlemen! Sergio has been present, either right out front or in the marginalia, since childhood. To see that creative giddiness on display was fascinating! That GROO/Bosch mashup was mind-bending! 🖖♾

Damn I'm about to go into work, this is definitely getting watched when I'm out

Fantastic, this is pure gold. Truly one of the sweetest, most beautiful interview you guys have had. Sergio is such a talent, such a gifted cartoonist and a very entertaining interview. I hope he enjoyed himself here so that he may drop in again. So much to learn from him. Thanks guys and also thanks to uncle Geoff for making this possible. I love seeing this channel grow and expand its network and I hope it takes over the world soon!

Im from Argentina and Sergio being influenced by Oski, Mordillo, Breccia and Quino made me proud, excellent interview Ed!

WOW! Probably the most fun Kayfabe interview ever! many thanks!!

Incredible! What a joy to listen to.

Wow. What an interview. So many childhood memories in Mad and Groo and what an amazing person. I really love the network that is opening up to you guys through some of these creators. Cheers.

1:30:03 all great artists from Argentina - but Ziraldo is from Brazil ;)

One of the best interviews of an artist/cartoonist I've seen on this channel and just about any other channel on KZfaq. Never had enough exposure to the humor cartoon world, but what an amazing artist and life Sergio has lived. Eagerly waiting a memoir book he ever puts out. Thank you guys for sharing this amazing artist & world to us and helping to educate the community. I could watch so much more. Seriously guys, Christmas came early with a gift like this. Thanks!

I love how Sergio mentions all the amazing cartoonists from Argentina and how they were his biggest influences! Please review more Latin American cartoonist, you guys won’t retreat it! 💪🇲🇽🇦🇷

One of the nicest artists I’ve ever met! I always go to his panels just to hear his hilarious stories at cons.
