I’m just doing little bits and pieces for other magazines right now.

The numbing mind-ream of knowing you’re alone not because people won’t accept you but because you find so little worth accepting. An imposed solitude is better than simply tolerating your company in waiting for something better. So loneliness is not such a terrible thing when you consider that the alternative to thought provoking solace is to be surrounded only by remindings of why that solitude is preferable.

In certain ways it is incredibly damaging considering the stuff I did before certainly wasn’t for kids.

Dear Die-ary, there’s nothing terribly wrong with feeling lost, so long as that feeling precedes some plan on your part to actually do something about it. Too often a person grows complacent with their disillusionment, perpetually wearing their “discomfort” like a favorite shirt. I can’t say I’m very pleased with where my life is just now... but I can’t help but look forward to where it’s going.

All the power to them but I’m not interested in making yet another show that looks like some other show.

Because of the audience I get and the fact that these people aren’t traditional comics buyers I don’t think the comic industry looks at that and thinks that is a very respectable thing. I’m very used to it. I’m not the guy who wins awards and gets mentioned in magazines.

I don’t particularly dislike any kind of person that might be reading my stuff. They like it and that’s cool, but I don’t do the work for any kind of group in particular, except for hobos, who just plain kick ass and light up my life.

Ever since I’m done with Zim everyone thinks that I’m going to go back to comics. I’ve been flooded with emails asking me if I’m working on the new Johnny over and over again.

After doing Johnny I wanted to just do something, I wouldn’t say innocent, but to not have any care in the world. Lots of setups and horrible happenings but its funny.

I don’t go to things because I want to see violence, I go to things because I want to see them handled well.
