I never feel burdened or overwhelmed by my work. People tell you to find something you love for a career, and I have. That makes me feel very lucky.

Repeats are the absolute soul-crushing killers of the comics page.

Sticking to my schedule, I've gotten over seven months ahead, which allowed me to write a 'Pearls Before Swine' movie script for the big screen.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
