I Like To Leave A Little Room

If I Could Have Somehow Been The Kind Of Artist Who Could Crank Out Two Or Three Issues A Year, That's Different. That's Sort Of What It's All About, To Get This Thing Out So That There's Some Kind Of Continuity. But To Do A Comic Book Every Year Or Two Was Just So Anti-climactic.

But They Always Just Laugh Off Everything I Say, When Really I Want Absolutely Nothing More Than To Destroy The World They Live In And To Watch Them Suffer, Alone And Miserable, Trying To Live In My World For A Change!

It's Hard To Tell If Anyone's Interested In Reading A Serialized Story. But It's Interesting To Put In A Cliffhanger Each Week. That Was Popular In Old Comic Strips. They'd Write A Weekend Story Different From The Daily Strip. So People Follow One Story Day To Day, And A Separate Story On Weekends. If You Read Them, You Think "i'll Read Two More." Then You're Like "i Gotta Find Out!" And You Read 500 More.

I Try To Employ A Different Strategy For Each Story. Often, I'll Have A Specific Look In Mind Before I Even Have The Story To Go With It.

I'm More Interested In Creating Specific Characters That Resonate With My Own Particular Inner Struggles.

Alfred Hitchcock Talked About Planning Out His Movies So Meticulously That When He Was Actually Shooting And Editing, It Was The Most Boring Thing In The World. But Drawing Comics Isn't Like Shooting A Movie. You Can Shoot A Movie In A Few Days And Be Done With It, But Drawing A Comic Takes Years And Years... That's The Biggest Part Of Doing Comics: You Have To Create Stuff That Makes You Want To Get Out Of Bed Every Morning And Get To Work.
