I think, to its credit, this is one of the last forms of popular entertainment that I don't sense to be discriminatory in any way. I think there's this general hunger for greater diversity, where publishers are really excited about finding different voices than what has been done.

I think there's a lot of evolution that's happened in intangible ways, in terms of how I think about the work or how I plan it out.

I started publishing my comic while I was still living with my parents.

When email and the Internet came along, I never publish an email address. I just stuck with this P.O. Box address.

I wanted all the responsibility to rest on the content of the story. I tried to make the visual style almost invisible.

A lot of the kinship that people notice is not coincidental. I was very impressionable and trying to find my role models when I was twelve or thirteen.

For me, as much about being a parent as it is about being a child.
