Where do I get my inspiration?
For my webcomic diary "Then This Happened..." I've been drawing that for six years. That comic is my real life. All of those are real. Most people get that I'm really writing about myself when they read those.
I originally got the idea for that series when I heard about an independent comic called American Elf. The author James Kochalka just started drawing a diary every day about their life. When you were reading them next to each other, it had some sort of magical connection. I thought that was really cool because my biggest downfall was trying to think of stories.

Well, when I decided to do that for my own webcomic, that was the same day that we found out my wife had breast cancer, and I started drawing about that. The comic went in a much different direction than the gag comics that I originally set out to do at first.
Now, as far as the next book that I'm doing, which is called "Bobert and the Monster", that is full-on, just a jokey comic. This new comic is inspired by those 1960s and 1970s comic books that they used to put in like grocery store aisles for kids to pick up. They were just kind of some slapstick short stories in comic book form. And that's what my new book is gonna be like.
