people age fans
I could go through a lot of my old emails from when I first started doing comics. Back then the lowest age of fans was like 15 or 16 up to people in their 20's and 30's.
people audience
It's cool that people like what I do, but I don't work for the audience.
cutting people ignorant
Whether in a suit or in a loincloth people are ignorant little thorns cutting into one another. They seem incapable of advancing beyond the violent tendencies which at one time were necessary for survival.
gun people would-be
The world would be a much nicer place if people only used guns on themselves.
people looks dresses
I don't like it when people dress up like Zim, because they look like Hulks.
nice evil people
I am the rightful heir to the flaming global throne of evil. I WILL TAKE THIS WORLD AS MINE, so if you people could just cooperate it would be very nice.

I love the show and a lot of what came out of it, like some of the people I met and got to work with, but those were truly some of the unhappiest days of my life.

Johnny was the very first book I did.

Usually when I get a letter from a parent it's because they buy my stuff. I don't really get a whole lot of negative response in general.
affected age american-cartoonist hated retro shows stuff
Retro looking stuff but a lot of these guys doing these shows are my age or younger. I was just disgusted. I hated being around that kind of thing. Not that it affected what I did because when it comes down to it I was doing my own show.
american-cartoonist stories
It's sort of what the Johnny and Devi stories are about, the idea of always being a slave to something.
american-cartoonist characters far full himself joke laughing series
When I'm writing the book I'm laughing at just how overblown the characters seemed. How full of himself he seems. But I didn't get far enough in the series to really drive the joke of it home.
american-cartoonist audience funny guess laugh robot
Some robot who never made me laugh didn't think was funny or didn't think the audience would understand. I guess that's television.

Children are all criminally insane, and must be destroyed!
