[After being asked on what he was like as a child, and what was his starting point in creating stories] Well, I guess, as far as back as I can remember I loved telling stories. Even before I could read I was attracted to, strangely I was attracted to pictures and words together. So, we're going back to me being maybe four or five. I would go to flea markets, and even before I could read I would see how comics come together. I think they inspired me to come up with stuff. Let me think here. I can remember in fifth grade that I took a box and I cut the front out so it was like a TV, and I would make stories that would spool from let's say one napkin holder to the other. I guess I was always interested in telling stories.
