I used to try to write around the edges, but now I try to walk a more direct line.

I didn't have the time to literally write and draw the strip at the same time.

I've always kind of wrote when I wanted to. Once I get the idea in my head and get it outlined out, I usually just sit and write until it's done.

I've been writing in some way, shape, or form for as long as I can remember.

I don't work in a straight line. I don't write with an outline. I write where I can see things happen, and then things get glued together.

Not intending to be funny: I sit at the keyboard, put my fingers on the keys and go. To me, it's the real secret of writing. Put yourself in front of the screen or the blank sheet of paper and get to work.

I always write my first draft in longhand, in lined notebooks. I move around the house, sitting where I like, and watch the words spool out in front of me, actually taking a lot of pleasure in the way they look in my strange handwriting on the page.

When I'm drawing, I only do that at home, really, at my drawing table. But writing I could do in other places. So I've written in airports, in hotels, different places.

I always write in pencil, so I can erase.
