I've felt that in the past, where I just felt like I had to keep drawing in the same way to maintain this sameness and rhythm throughout an entire book, and it was not really necessary.

I try personally not to be nostalgic.

But I enjoy the opportunity to use swear symbols.

I feel like I understood the language of comics. I had a real fluidity with that medium at a very early age.

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

I try to only work on the screenplays for a few hours a day when I'm in my most voluble mood, just sort of writing whatever comes into my head. It's a very freeing thing.

If I could have somehow been the kind of artist who could crank out two or three issues a year, that's different. That's sort of what it's all about, to get this thing out so that there's some kind of continuity. But to do a comic book every year or two was just so anti-climactic.
