'Peanuts' is a life-long influence, going back to before I could even read.

I would honestly be elated if I could wave a magic wand and eradicate my back catalog and then have a fresh crack at some of those ideas.

The most impactful comics that I've read are the ones where the artists swung for the bleachers and tried to immerse you in their world.

When I'm sitting at my drafting table in my studio, I could really be anywhere.

I had relatives who would go to Japan and bring back random stuff they bought at the airport or whatever - 'Ultraman' and 'Speed Racer,' stuff like that.

The comics work is very slow, and it basically involves working for sometimes years in isolation and not knowing how the work is going to be received.
