You've, I presume, been a comics reader for a long time, but they've only more recently been a very specific part of your practice.

Yeah, I have always kind of toed high in lowbrow stuff, and I've always read comics.

I grew up reading Dick Tracy, and I love the Fleischer Brothers cartoons.

Kind of that whole world, like 30s and 40s especially, has always been... aesthetically what I'm attracted to and I read that for a long time but actually making comics wasn't something that interested me especially until the last I would say seven years maybe that I've been really into actually making Storytelling through comics.

I like making one panel gag comics for a long time.

And that's probably how I got most of my early popularity on the internet was just because they're very memeable.

Yeah.

yeah
