Self-publishing is still my basic recommendation to anyone wanting to do comics. Do it. Do it until you get good. Do it after you get good. It's good for your spirit as a creator.

THE WICKED + THE DIVINE is unlike True Detective as: it features women who do things. THE WICKED + THE DIVINE is like True Detective as: we shamelessly rip off huge chunks of stuff from Alan Moore.

Don't be ashamed of the creative urges which drive you. And certainly don't be ashamed of your ego. Hubris is only hubris when it fails. When Hubris pays off, we call these people geniuses.

Music will save your life, but may leave you with a life not worth saving. The characters Phonogram tends to follow are extreme cases.

When you have characters talking about music in any way, especially about music someone doesn't know, some people presume it's about showing social capital and sneering at those who don't have it.

Phonogram is the memory of a long period in my life through a surprisingly small filter. Those characters are basically the golem who accompanied me on that decade and a half.

It is a poor critic who says that a lack of effect on them implies all others are insincere in their love.

If all we are is what people think we are, then we're all screwed.

The future has no memory of your past or present. You are free to make it anything you choose. So make it great!

There are things done so badly that one is tempted to think that there is an intention behind.

Regardless of whether one is dealing with assembly language or compiler language, the number of debugged lines of source code per day is about the same!

Silence is the safest course for any man to adopt who distrust himself.

I outlived the bastards.

The one thing everybody's looking for is unconditional love. We all need somebody to love us just the way we are

History has tried hard to teach us that we can't have good government under politicians. Now, to go and stick one at the very head of the government couldn't be wise.

Welfare is the basic cause of the deleterious cultural changes we have witnessed in the West over the past 60 years.

I was brooding, boy. Than which there is no richer pastime. It muffles one with rotting plumes. It gives forth sullen music. It is the smell of home.
