But mostly, it's a book about my relationship with my father.

I hope that I can get people to read it without having to change it. Especially now that the strip has more different kinds of characters. It's really not all lesbians any more.

I get a lot of mail from men who really identify with Stuart, you know, Sparrow's boyfriend. I love that. Even though I used to say I wanted men to read the strip even though there weren't any men in it, so they'd be forced to identify with the women.

I don't know, maybe it's because I was raised Catholic. Confession has always held a great appeal for me.

For some reason writing and drawing are very separate processes for me.

Even drawing gray hair at all is difficult to render in black and white.
