In Brazil we have a comic strip in the newspaper. That one also attracts a different kind of followers.

If we wanted to make money we would have become lawyers or doctors or stuff like that.

The German and the Brazilian market is small. When we went to France they know a lot more, than just the American comics. The audience there was much different.

The readers are very similar. The books they know, the questions they ask, the characters they like. That is similar.

There are many readers of the book, who don't know anything about the authors and the artists. There is more than one author. It doesn't matter, if you can't make the reader dive into the story and surround him with that environment and those characters. That's an experience that lasts longer than figuring out who did what. I think that's what makes our working relationship better, it helps us to make a book that feels unique and not like different voices.

Only when you accept that one day you'll die can you let go, and make the best out of life. And that's the big secret. That's the miracle.

There are a lot of comic strips in Brazilian newspapers that have been around for 30, almost 40 years. They are very famous in Brazil.
