When I first learned about Abrams and saw the types of books they were making, I knew I wanted my books to be published by them. Abrams books are special-when you hold one in your hands, you have the feeling that this book needed to be made. I once heard an artist say that books are fetish objects-I think Abrams gets that, because their books demand to be treasured. So who better to give comics art its proper due? I feel privileged to have found a home with Abrams.

But the thing I’m finding out is some people don’t really appreciate it when you’r trying to be helpful.

The only reason I get out of bed at all on weekends is because eventually I can't stand the taste of my own breath any more.

I don't know if this makes me a bad person or whatever, but it's hard for me to get interested in other people's vacations.

Dear Aunt Loretta, Thank you so much for the awesome pants! How did you know I wanted that for Christmas? I love the way the pants look on my legs! All my friends will be so jealous that I have my very own pants. Thank you for making this the best Christmas ever! Sincerely, Greg

Greg starts a middle school and asks: Why is "bullies" such a big PROBLEM? And says people need to shave twice a day.

So I've started wearing sweatpants to bed because I really don't need Santa seeing me in my underwear.
