I felt really conflicted about making money off stuff that's creatively satisfying.

I'd always been really intimidated by prose writing.

I talked to people in the pencil industry and I talked to people as I was sharpening their pencils about the frustrations they have with pencils, so I really did do my research and I do know more about pencils than most people.

I was just worried that someone was gonna think that I had been commissioned by Jamba Juice to make cartoons about Jamba Juice. And the big thing for me was - if I'm not getting paid to sell out, I don't want people to think that I'm selling out.

Once you use a toothbrush to clean a pencil sharpener, you should no longer use it to clean your teeth.

I hate self-publishing; it's a real drag and it takes up a lot of space.

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.
