I'm interested in the structure of art and how it works. And the content is also interesting, but I don't want to keep the same structure and just plug in new content every week.

Everyone has pencils in their house, no matter how hip and contemporary they are.

I don't want to be one of these people who's like, "Man, I don't know where my ideas come from and I don't know why this works."

I just wanted a really simple, dramatic way so that fans, people who were reading my comic, would be like, "This is something different." Just to flag it, almost.

The way you make money is to do something you don't like to do. And that's how you know you're a virtuous person.

The thing I hear about a lot is when people over-sharpen their pencil with a single-blade pocket-sharpener and then when they put the pencil to the page, their tip breaks and pencil points always break irregularly. It always gets all jagged and you have to refresh the point. That's a common complaint.

I have very limited craftsmanship. And a lot of the stuff I make plays on that.
