Alfred Hitchcock Talked About Planning Out His Movies So Meticulously That When He Was Actually Shooting And Editing, It Was The Most Boring Thing In The World. But Drawing Comics Isn't Like Shooting A Movie. You Can Shoot A Movie In A Few Days And Be Done With It, But Drawing A Comic Takes Years And Years... That's The Biggest Part Of Doing Comics: You Have To Create Stuff That Makes You Want To Get Out Of Bed Every Morning And Get To Work.

I'm Always Learning New Things You Can Do With Comics That Wouldn't Work In Any Other Medium, And Often They Require The Need To Process A Lot Of Dense Information. Of Course, The Trick Is To Make The Complicated Seem Effortless And Spontaneous.
