Grief Takes Many Forms, Including The Absence

The Satiric Ethos Of Mad Was A Much Bigger Childhood Influence.

When I Was Growing Up In The 1960s, There Was Starting To Be More Books Geared Towards Young Adults.

I Tend To Write First Thing, And Then Do My Drawing Later. I Like To Draw At Night. But Often I Go For Long Stretches Without Drawing, Because I'm Trying To Figure Out What I'm Writing.

I'm Not That Good Of A Drawer. I Don't Know How People Just Draw Stuff Out Of Their Head. I'm Always Creating Schemes. If I Have To Draw Someone Sitting In A Chair, I Have To Go Find A Chair, Sit In It, And Take A Picture Of Myself Sitting In It.

Drawing Is More Fun To Me Than Writing. I Think It's Interesting To Talk To Different Cartoonists About How Those Activities Work For Them. I'm A Very Writerly Cartoonist. I Certainly Spend More Time On The Writing Than I Do On The Drawing, Even Though The Drawing, Of Course, Is Very Time-consuming.
