You have never shied away from the sexuality of the characters you have written and I was wondering if you ever had an opportunity or interest in writing erotica? I know there have been some great erotic comics like Small Favors, XXXenophile and Omaha the

That's an interesting question. Hmm.
I must say, I don't know that I have any huge interest in writing erotica for its own sake…but a narrative that was more explicit, I'd be fine with that. There was a little while where some of my favorite artists were doing very explicit erotica, and I bought them, but I often found myself wishing they would go back to their previous projects. For me, some of the comics erotica I've seen seemed to be 90% sex and 10% characterization.
With something like Omaha, I think that was more successful because it not only had the excellent character work, it was conceived to be what it was, an adult book with sexual theme. I did read a few XXXophiles, that was Phil Foglio, right? I haven't read small favors.
I'm sure there are a billion people who would do that sort of book better than I would. But I would have no problems with a longer fiction that had characters doing stuff upon each other.
Also, I should add, my experience in this regard is a little limited, I haven't read that many comics that I would call erotica, as opposed to just, like, say the underground comics that had sex in them but would likely not get that label, "erotica." So there may be a ton of lovely stuff out there I just haven't seen.
