circle ended fans happened indie kids lived meeting people rock time white
I lived in London for a long time, and that's a pretty white town. In Toronto, I just ended up in this circle of indie rock kids who happened to be white, too... Really, it was just when I started getting out there and meeting more people and seeing more fans that I went, 'Oh, actually, I'm not white.'
cast characters complete drawings roles spend tend time
I don't tend to cast roles in my head because I spend so much time with these characters and the drawings that they're complete in themselves, you know what I mean?
incredible third time
For Hollywood to make 'Spider-Man,' only to redo the movie a couple years later, just boggles the mind. To recast 'The Incredible Hulk' for a third time? I don't get it.
awareness both devalue raise sword time work
Tumblr culture and the whole reappropriation-without-context thing are a double-edged sword in that they both raise awareness of my work and also kind of devalue it at the same time.
trying tone brian
I used to be really influenced by Brian Bendis, back in his indie days. But I guess I try to tone that down.
book fall writing
Writing music is sort of my hobby, but it's been falling off more and more. Doing comic books takes up my entire life.
drawing talking want
I don't want to spend my entire life drawing talking heads. It seems like a waste of everyone's time.
sometimes readership seems
I'm sometimes sort of in touch with the readership, and they seem to have perceptive questions, for the most part.
games people video
My readership seems to be the sensitive people, for the most part. Then there are the occasional fans who are like, "Ah, video games!"
talking sweat mind
I remember talking to someone who is vegan. At the time, I would hear a lot of outrageous claims from vegans about the good that being a vegan can do for you, for your health and whatnot. I remember someone once told me vegans don't sweat, so I started my mind going.
trying ends process
I'm 25 and just trying to understand women. Obviously, that is a process that never ends.
book other-worlds firsts
When you do your first book, you're just like, "This is my work." And it's just this whole other world that you throw yourself into.
guy samurai kim
Kim: Hey... There's a guy over there with a samurai sword. Scott: Really? Like a katana or a wakizashi or both?
girl hair might
Okay, this might sound vague, but do you know this one girl with hair like this?
