As soon as I'm finished with it, it feels like an impersonal project. Like, "Well, I did another book."

I never feel there's anything I can't do with comics. There are certain things in comics that you can't do in any other medium: for instance, in Mister Wonderful, Marshall's narration overlaps the events as they're going on. That would be difficult in film; you could blot speech out with a voiceover, but it wouldn't have the same effect. That's always of interest, to see what new things you can do in comics form.

It's hard to tell if anyone's interested in reading a serialized story. But it's interesting to put in a cliffhanger each week. That was popular in old comic strips. They'd write a weekend story different from the daily strip. So people follow one story day to day, and a separate story on weekends. If you read them, you think "I'll read two more." Then you're like "I gotta find out!" And you read 500 more.

I'm a fan of parchment and wood pulp.

In a movie, you have to be mindful that no budget is going to be able to deal with running around the globe at every whim of the writer.

I was thinking the other day that there will never be another form of music that everybody has to respond to - like disco.

I think I'm gonna attach myself to the sinking ship that is book publishing.
