I do what makes me laugh.

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.

The judge said I was a menace to society because I had put crime on a scientific basis.

I don't write constantly; it's two serials and a novel a year.

I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
