Face it, you hate every single boy on the face of the Earth!" "That's not TRUE, I just hate all these obnoxious, extroverted, pseudo-bohemian art-school losers

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.

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

I just try to make comics for myself, try to give it some kind of unity throughout. That often involves tiny details. I'm never sure what's going to be obvious or what nobody will ever notice. I put stuff in my comics that I thought was blatantly obvious, and nobody noticed. And things that I think are buried in the background, everybody gets it. So I try to be consistently aware of every part of the frame.

Everybody just lets the media do their thinking for them... that's why you'll never hear any reggae on the radio!

You need to be, like, turning down high-paying illustration work because you want to work on your comic. That's when you know you're doing something good.

In an art school it's very hard to tell who is the best.
