Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.

One of the things that appealed to me most about comics was that you can pick the ones you like and build your own personal pantheon.

No one blames themselves if they don't understand a cartoon, as they might with a painting or 'real' art; they simply think it's a bad cartoon.

Plot is not my forte. It's like I have to live in my head in the book for a while before I figure out what the story is... My process is a bit messier.

The latest page I've been working is about the organization of the pantheon of the gods. Who's indebted to whom, how they are related, who screwed whose uncle or grandmother, all of that.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
