Comics are a particularly esoteric field where you really learn how to do it, by doing it or by learning from other practitioners.

Comics are such a powerful educational tool. Simply put, there are certain kinds of information that are best communicated through sequential visuals.

Learning to write comics is, in fact, so bloody difficult because it's such a weird form that it does actually make you a bit more adaptable for other forms.

I don't think schooling of any sort really prepares you for real life. I don't know if art school would have prepared me to draw comics. Half of the people I know in comics went to art school, half of them didn't. Some of them went and dropped out.

At some point, all comics have to go out and be retail salesmen doing door-to-door. And this idea of somebody who totally knows their craft having to get up for free in front of a crowd to work out some stuff they're thinking in their head, still, after as much success as you can get, is really interesting.

With comics you can put interesting and solid information in a format that's pretty palatable.

The great thing about having digital comics is that it is like having a comic-book shop on your digital device. It has turned comics from a destination buy to an impulse buy.

I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.

Comics is a great medium to get a lot of stories out.

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.
