I will rise from the darkness, shining like the morning star. Illuminated woman am I.

I tend to only read comics written by friends or people I've known. And I'm not a great comic reader.

I was a clubber in the Nineties. I went dancing every week.

It surprises me constantly that my sometimes-unorthodox approach has such a large following, but I'm very grateful to my readers for allowing me to continue writing 10 or 12 hours a day.

Imagine the earth’s population of six billion people reduced to just one hundred representatives. Statistically, that makes 30 white, 70 non-white. It means 6 people own 59% of the wealth and they all live in North America. 80 are in substandard housing. One has an education. One owns a computer. Don’t blame me if it all sounds crazy.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that schools are just factories for turning out robots, that's all.

And the toy goes to university, gets a job, settles down with someone nice.
