And what better way to reinvent the form than to toss virtually 99% of everything that's been done with it and start with a brand-new canvas, reinvent it from the ground up? Digital comics gave me the opportunity to do that, and producing things digitally gave me the opportunity to do that.

I don't think the potential for comics in nonfiction has been exploited nearly as much as it could be.

Form and content must never apologize for each other.

I wouldn't necessarily have been making books about how to make comics if I'd really felt I knew how to make comics.

A medium is a bridge between two minds.

I've always been very forward-looking, and it was actually kind of difficult to turn my gaze backwards to look at comics history.

There's a very big part of me that just wants to take all of comics history and toss it on the bonfire. I'd sort of like to get on to the future.
