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

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

Creator and reader are partners in the invisible creating something out of nothing, time and time again.

Nobody knows what will work until they try it. Some of comics' biggest success stories in recent years have explored subjects that no one was writing about at the time - stories no one had any reason to think would succeed. My advice? Write what you want to read. You'll have more fun doing it - and if all else fails, you'll always have at least one loyal reader.

Space does for comics what time does for film!

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.

Webcomics are much bigger than any one scene can circumscribe.
