Webcomics are much bigger than any one scene can circumscribe.

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

My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits, which I saw a as kind of frivolous.

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.

It wasn't until I discovered comics that I actually began to approach drawing as a possible career.

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.

The notion of getting under the hood and explaining how something works, that's fairly familiar territory to me.
