Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.
From Alison Bechdel
Even drawing gray hair at all is difficult to render in black and white.
Writing this book feels like a completely different activity from writing my comic strip because it's about real life. I feel like I'm using a part of my brain that's been dormant until now.
Watching everyone root through their psyche, it just delights me. Especially R. Crumb's stuff.
And partly, the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.
It's a hard thing to age a character because you can't really suddenly give someone gray hair.
I started to get bored with that stuff about only drawing men and I've taken it out of the slideshow.
The satiric ethos of Mad was a much bigger childhood influence.
I don't know, maybe it's because I was raised Catholic. Confession has always held a great appeal for me.
I just have this sort of entrepreneurial spirit and I work really hard at promoting myself.
