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.

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