Everybody's like everybody else, and everybody's different from everybody else.

Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.

People who are readers of fiction aren't particularly interested in comic books.

There was a survey done a few years ago that affected me greatly. it was discovered that intelligent people either estimate their intelligence accurately or slightly underestimate themselves, but stupid people overestimate their intelligence and by huge margins. (And these were things like straight up math tests, not controversial IQ tests.)

It seemed to me you could do anything in comics. So I started doing my thing, which is mainly influenced by novelists, stand-up comedians, that sort of thing

It's the stuff that happens right in front of your face when there's no routine and everything is unexpected. That's what I want to write about.

I think comics have far more potential than a lot of people realize.
