Each collected edition of Paper Girls that we put out will largely be set in an entirely different era.

I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.

Sure, this will probably end up being another in a long line of emotionally crippling misadventures...but let's try to have some fun along the way.

My mom once told me that a good relationship isn't where the other person makes you feel better, but where they make *you* better.

I mean, do you know what you get when you call a suicide hotline in New York city? A busy signal. Literally.

Gert: Wake me when the fight scene's over. Kitty Pryde: Oy, tell me about it. Hey, I'm Kitty. You the token pacifist of your group? Gert: Not exactly. Pacifists are like vegans, I'm more of a vegetarian. I enjoy fish and occasional maulings.

I genuinely am sort of an emotionally stunted man-child, so if I just write to the top of my intelligence, it sounds like a teenager. I like being around teenagers. It's good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They're mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.
