If A Cat Had A Halo, It

A Comic Book Is The Opposite Of A Cartoon. In A Cartoon, You Want To Simplify The Idea, So When They Look At It At A Glance, They Get It. Boom. Simple. Direct To The Point. But When You're Drawing Groo, Now It's A Narrative, A Story. You Want The Viewer To Get Involved In The Story. You Want Him To Feel Like He's In The Town To Follow Your Main Character. So I Love To Add Lots And Lots Of Things In It. Things That People Will Enjoy Going Back To And Say, "oh Yeah, That's How A Market Must Have Looked In This Fantasy World, With People Selling Meat Here And Dishes Here."

Many Of The American Cartoonists That Want To Have A Job And Go So Much For The Total Right Without Thinking, Sometimes They Get A Slap On The Face When Their Politician Lets Them Down. So It Goes On And On. The Thing Is Staying In The Middle And Not Getting Committed, Trying To Get The Best Of Both And Do That With A Sense Of Humor.

My Work Is So Unorthodox That From One Panel To The Next, The Drawings Are Completely Different... Totally Opposed To The Way Of Working In Something Like Animation, Where Every Drawing Has To Look Like The One Before.

Fortunately, Cartooning Is Not A Job. It's Something Like Eating Or Sleeping.

Freedom Is Not An Individual Effort. Yours Comes Only When You Grant Others Theirs
