I love that the book [Paper Girls ] gets to kind of evolve and change in each era. Our third storyline is our best so far.

If a good editor will let me tell my story with the right artist, I’m happy.

That was the appealing thing about comics: There literally is no budget in comics. You’re only limited by your imagination.

I remember seeing Stand by Me, when I was around 12, and just feeling like, “This is so refreshing to see kids swear and smoke cigarettes like my friends.” It just felt much more real than the Sesame Street version of childhood that I’d been spoon-fed.

I write the book for one person – for Fiona [Staples, the artist]. I spend a lot of time just thinking how she’ll react to things and manipulating her into drawing perverse, horrific things. It’s a really weird job but I enjoy it.

Ethnicity Gay Writing
I like being around teenagers. It’s good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They’re mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.

My mom once told me that a good relationship isn’t where the other person makes you feel better, but where they make *you* better.
