Well, let’s see. Reading a lot. Writing a lot. Thinking about comics way too much. They are, like a garage for a garage band, an incredibly efficient and relatively inexpensive workshop to explore. i tried making them, read them, thought about them, tore‘em up, made more, repeat. i drew my own, i found talented artists who, like me, wanted to make these things but hadn’t before, I talked a lot of shit, I made friends, I read and thought and wrote like a Victorian shut-in.
