Comics is a language. It's a language most people understand intuitively.
A full, rich drawing style is a drawback.
I went to an art school in Brooklyn and painted Fine Art, if thats what youd call it for eight years in New York, until I saw the first underground comics in the East Village Other.
Going too far is half the pleasure of not getting anywhere.
I had a mixture, my father was a career army man and my mother was a writer.
What I do is draw but if you make an animated feature obviously it takes a whole team of people, and Zippy is my work. I felt that turning it over to a team of people would be wrong.
