Yeah, I don't deal with current events or pop culture, and I avoid politics like the plague.

People are going to behave however the social norms permit, and beyond that.

I wanted to be a painter.

I just thought I'd take a break from publishing for a while.

I don't want to wait more than a year and a half or two years between books.

I was doing illustration work, and the cartooning slowly took over.

I just don't want anyone messing around with my pure smoking pleasure.
