It demands the solemn willpower to dissect and analyze the fissures of a self-absorbent soul one layer at a time."

"I don't think there's any independent cartoonist whose stuff I don't like or respect in at least some way or another. We're all marginal laborers - we're practically medical oddities - so I don't see why we can't all be nice to each other."
