I guess I feel like I'm cheating my audience if I don't give them what I feel is enough since the comic doesn't come out as fast as I'd like it to.
The Tom Strong thing was totally for the money. I plan to get looser after I finish this Maggie saga.
Every day I run into people who don't know what I do. And even after I explain it they still don't know what I do. So now I can just say, 'Pick up the Locas book!' And that tells them all.
Stories of neighborhood ghosts went hand and hand with stories of family. I still hear stories like that on occasion and I can't get enough of them.
Comics as art. I do comics as comics, and my opportunity to tell stories. Simple. Basic. Let the characters have the excitement, not the package. That's where I come from.
I used to always read my stuff. And I could never understand why artists would say, 'Oh, I can't read my older stuff.' I'd go, 'Are you crazy? I could read my stuff forever!' Now it's a little harder.
