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.

Today, comics is one of the very few forms of mass communication in which individual voices still have a chance to be heard.

If you just write the kinds of stories you think others will want to read, you'll be competing with cartoonists who are far more enthusiastic for that kind of comic than you are, and they'll kick your ass every time.

It would take a lifetime to read all the webcomics published in one year.

By stripping down an image to essential meaning, an artist can simplify that meaning.

The idea that comics stores, distributors and publishers simply 'give the customers what they want' is nonsense. What the customers wanted they didn't get - and they left.

Form and content must never apologize for each other.
