I have always had a need for attention but didn't plan to be a comic.

I really can't pinpoint the one moment when I said I want to be a comic.

I had no desire to be a stand-up comic until I decided to do it.

I've done illustration on the side. But other than that, comics have been my main things.

There's a creative freedom to comics, and a fulfillment I get out of panel layouts and storytelling that is hard for me to get anywhere else.

I want to show there's an edgier side of people who love comic books. And there are people who don't look like you and me who do read comic books and who love artists.

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

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.

Back then, I was doing more of my impression of what a comic is supposed to do.

When I started out, I really struggled as a comic because no one knew who I was, and sometimes I was telling stories, so it would take a while for people to get on board for things.
