The writing is hard, and the drawing is fun. It's very satisfying to see a drawing start to come together.
You can't live and write at the same time.
Drawing is more fun to me than writing. I think it's interesting to talk to different cartoonists about how those activities work for them. I'm a very writerly cartoonist. I certainly spend more time on the writing than I do on the drawing, even though the drawing, of course, is very time-consuming.
For some reason writing and drawing are very separate processes for me.
I tend to write first thing, and then do my drawing later. I like to draw at night. But often I go for long stretches without drawing, because I'm trying to figure out what I'm writing.
Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.
