> Anyway Homestuck is good and you should at least give it a chance if you’re finding yourself reluctant to read. Re-readers, you may yet fall in love with the comic all over again if you’ve been feeling jaded about it as of late.

## 'Homestuck' creator on turning his beloved web comic into a book

> > > Maybe a creator’s job today isn’t to make important things or leave a legacy, but to make sure people in the future are laughing for the right reasons.

> > Found via the Homestuck + Hiveswap Discord.

> > ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What made you decide to make Homestuck into a hardcover? How did the project come about?

> > ANDREW HUSSIE: The project came about when I got together with VIZ Media, and we decided to do some things with Homestuck. We had a lot of cool ideas. Well, I had a lot of cool ideas. And since they’re like, professionals, they had to say, “You know what Andrew? A Homestuck theme park sounds great. We’ll get right on that, designing roller coasters and stuff. We’ll put our top guys on it. But you know, that could take a long time, since building roller coasters is expensive and complicated.” I start nodding sagely, like, yeah, of course that’s gonna take some time. Maybe five or 10 years before they even break ground, with all the red tape, I can only imagine. So they say, “How about some books? Let’s just try to hit a few singles first here. We can just print it out, and sell tangible copies to the fans. People like books, Andrew. It’s a business model you may have noticed we have some experience with.” “Oh, yeah, I totally get that,” I said. “It’s a good idea. We can put a pin in the theme park for now.” I mean, I’m paraphrasing. There was a lot more to this conversation.
