I'm still awaiting the idea of drawing comics for a living being a reality. I feel like I've been dodging work for 20 years, and at some point, I'll have to get a real job.

I love comics. Comics are something I've always wanted to do.

What made me want to go into doing comics was I was working as a laborer with my father, a gardener.

I'm sure that no matter what I'm involved in, I'll always be doing comics, at least in some minor capacity.

I've wanted to write ever since I've gotten into comics. I wrote little things for myself when I was doing mini-comics and things, before becoming a professional. But I just figure at some point or another, I've got to make the leap. I just have to do it.

By and large, I think that comics work seriously hard. Many have other jobs as well, plus you never really switch off, so you're always working.

I thought I had a great opportunity when I started doing my comic book in 1972. I thought there was so much territory to work in.

It wasn't until I discovered comics that I actually began to approach drawing as a possible career.

I love comics and have since I was a kid. That is what gave me the idea to create my own.

When I realized that people actually wrote comics, that it was a job people could do, I thought, 'Gee, these things are only 17 pages long! I could probably finish one of those and find out whether I suck before I've spent five years of my life on it.' In stumbling into comics that way, I discovered that I loved the form.
