I'm not opposed to comics on the Internet. It's just not interesting to me.

There are certain things in there that no one else would recognize, really. I see details of my life that I didn't even intend to put in when I was doing the work. For example, I noticed that every single kid in the high school in The Death-Ray is based on somebody I went to high school with.

I'm always hiding the books in my closet, and my art's always turned upside down in my drawer.

I never know if a book is crazy or not. There's that fear - this is the one that will end it all.

For me, the whole process involves envisioning this Ghost World comic book in my head as I'm working.

I think there was a point that I realized I could do what I wanted to do in terms of the drawing. I used to run around a lot of things. I would shy away from certain things that I realized would be horrible for me to draw, and just wouldn't be fun.

I must have been 3 years old or less, and I remember paging through these comics, trying to figure out the stories. I couldn't read the words, so I made up my own stories.
