I'm not the guy who wins awards and gets mentioned in magazines.

Ever since I'm done with Zim everyone thinks that I'm going to go back to comics. I've been flooded with emails asking me if I'm working on the new Johnny over and over again.

After doing Johnny I wanted to just do something, I wouldn't say innocent, but to not have any care in the world. Lots of setups and horrible happenings but its funny.

It's cool that people like what I do, but I don't work for the audience.

Trust me, I know what self loathing is. But to kill myself? That would put a damper on my search for answers. Not at all productive.

And so, irritants, it is with this that I leave you. You are spared so that you can think of what it really is to live in a world that engenders a pain for which there is no comfort. Here is your product! You have the rest of your lives to think of this. And I suggest you think quickly, for a long life is never a guarantee.

It's a frightening world to be alone in.
