It's a hard thing to age a character because you can't really suddenly give someone gray hair.

Well, I'm always working on my comic strip and trying to, you know, keep cranking that out.

I don't know, maybe it's because I was raised Catholic. Confession has always held a great appeal for me.

And partly, the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.

Grief takes many forms, including the absence of grief

Basically, my work is play. It never actually feels that way - I'm always aiming to attain that state. But I get to do for a living what I did as a child for fun, and that's pretty cool.

I try not to have anything too much going on between waking up and getting to work. I like to just be really fresh when I sit down. I always have my best ideas, like, within five minutes of starting. And then the rest of the day is just kind of putting in time.
