When I was an art student in the early 60′s before the acid scene began I was smoking pot just like anyone else who was an artist.

I had a mixture, my father was a career army man and my mother was a writer.

My first character was Mr. Toad.

She encouraged any artistic impulse I had, and my father discouraged any artistic impulse I had. They took out their problems with each other on me and my sister.

I hate Calvin and Hobbes. I think its a big re-hash of formula kid strips.

Looking back Little Lulu was an early feminist, but at the time I just thought she was a really feisty developed comic strip character.

A full, rich drawing style is a drawback.
