I'd caught that thread too and as soon as I read Byrne's shocking announcement about not giving anymore interviews (This still cracks me up! "I, John Byrne, hereby announce I will no longer appear on David Letterman!") I was struck by the timing of it all.

The editor was Danny Fingeroth, one of the nicest guys in the business. Danny is very active at the Museum of Cartoon and Comic Art and often teaches classes there about writing. The magazine was Draw!. In the now-suspiciously missing thread Byrne groused that the magazine had taken one of his commissions and used it as the cover possibly without permission. He also was miffed that the commission had been a pencil drawing that someone else had inked without his permission. Lastly, Byrne mused that he'd agreed to do the Draw! interview a long time ago but had not been contacted about it again.
