My dad was an inventor, and I think I've always had a rosy view of technology, or at least its potential.
My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits, which I saw a as kind of frivolous.
And what better way to reinvent the form than to toss virtually 99% of everything that's been done with it and start with a brand-new canvas, reinvent it from the ground up? Digital comics gave me the opportunity to do that, and producing things digitally gave me the opportunity to do that.
It would take a lifetime to read all the webcomics published in one year.
I've always been very forward-looking, and it was actually kind of difficult to turn my gaze backwards to look at comics history.
