I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To me, families are fascinating. I choose to explore it through comedy and through comic situations.
Autobiographical comics, I love them. I love them.
I love playing a dad. It's hard to find family dramas that are genuinely funny.
I love comics. Comics are something I've always wanted to do.
My brother is a comic-book writer, and I was always in love with comics.
I think a lot of the things in my life that I become most passionate about, and most excited about, are all from comics.
My early comics are really reflective of being kind of a befuddled, single loser in the Bay Area, and I think having kids has been by far the most profound impact on me as a person and as an artist.
It's one thing to have a relationship, to lay your hands on it, and another to make it continue and last. That's something I haven't talked about much in my comic strips, and it's certainly something I'm interested in.
I love fatherhood.
I think I related more literally to the early 'Spider-Man' comics from Steve Ditko because it could be upfront and direct about the problems of being a kid. He captured being a teenager so beautifully.
