As you get older you're told to be sensible, but it's important for writing if you're a comic that you're able to still access that childlike thing.

To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

Some people can do things and get away with it. Comics are famously like that. Why is it that some guys can say the most horrible things and it's not offensive, it's funny?

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

When you're young as a comic, you don't have a lot of leverage.

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

You learn just by trying and experimenting. By the time I was 14, I had my own comic strip in the Kansas City paper.

I never was really into comics as a child, and I think if you miss the boat when you're a kid, you don't necessarily pick up on it when you're an adult.
