Ordinary Life Is Pretty Complex Stuff.

I Think Comics Have Far More Potential Than A Lot Of People Realize.

I Decided I Was Going To Tell These Stories. I Went Around And Met Crumb. He Was The Cartoonist. I Started Realizing Comics Weren't Just Kid Stuff.

As A Matter Of Fact, I Deliberately Look For The Mundane, Because I Feel These Stories Are Ignored. The Most Influential Things That Happen To Virtually All Of Us Are The Things That Happen On A Daily Basis. Not The Traumas.

Everybody's Like Everybody Else, And Everybody's Different From Everybody Else.

I Wanted To Write Literature That Pushed People Into Their Lives Rather Than Helping People Escape From Them.
