I love the medium and I love individual comics, but the business is nothing I would be proud of.

I'm always looking for things I imagine must exist, but don't - this is usually the impetus to create that thing myself.

It's embarrassing to be involved in the same business as the mainstream comic thing. It's still very embarrassing to tell other adults that I draw comic books - their instant, preconceived notions of what that means.

When I go back and reread the stuff, I'm always floored by how deeply personal and revealing it actually is.

I love the medium and I love individual comics, but the business is nothing I would be proud of.
