You can write a little and can draw a little, but there's necessarily a limitation on both in a comic strip, since it appears in such a tiny space.

I don't want to write, I'd rather draw.

Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.

I had never really thought of myself as a writer; any writing I had done was just to give myself something to draw.

During my Austin years, I was drawing a regular strip for the University Of Texas newspaper, going to school, delivering blood, and trying to change my approach and 'style' as much as I could, since I knew that I'd calcify as I got older.

I guess I didn't enjoy drawing very much. It was like homework.

It became clear to me that I had to push it toward a more representational way of drawing.

Maybe I could have been good as a drawer if I had done it as much as I did writing, but it's more scary to draw. It's more revealing. You can't disguise yourself in drawing.

But if you really love to write and you really love to tell stories and you really love to draw, you just have to keep doing it no matter what anybody says.
