Dad, how do soldiers killing each other solve the world's problems?

You never know when some crazed rodent with cold feet could be running loose in your pants.

I'm pulling out different aspects of my personality in writing each character and, if I'm doing my job well, I'm being true to the situation and true to the character.

The more words you have at your disposal, the more precisely you can express yourself.

That's the whole problem with science. You've got a bunch of empiricists trying to describe things of unimaginable wonder.

Each kind of story has its own problems in writing, but my main concern really is to keep the reader on his toes, or to keep the strip unpredictable. I try to achieve some sort of balance between the two that keeps the reader wondering what's going to happen next and be surprised.

I enjoy the drawing more than the writing, so I try to think of ideas that will allow me to develop the visual side of the strip as fully as possible.
