It took me a long time to stumble upon a sound, and I figured out I wanted to kinda sing rapper's lyrics.
I'm going to start work on developing a series for HBO, because I'm naturally given to episodic stories of considerable length.

One of the things when you're drawing a comic book is that you're spending four or five times as long to draw it as the writer takes to write it.
