I don’t enjoy the boo scare when you’re watching a movie and then suddenly there’s a big shark on the screen. The only thing they’re doing is catching you off guard.

If the gag is complicated, you spend more time thinking about the way you’re drawing it.

I’d love to do a whole series of stories and have them collected into books.

At the end of the ’60s, I was trying to enter the world of comics.

I live in a very small town and now that I’ve closed down my studio, I’m working at home.

I keep very weird hours. I never know when I’m going to get an idea.

When you’re drawing comics, you get very involved in how the story is going to develop and you spend more time daydreaming on that particular subject.

I have always loved horror very much. I used to write stories for DC’s House of Mystery. It was one of my first jobs writing for comics, and I loved it.

Once you’ve established where you are, you go to the character and elaborate on expressions and action.

Suspense is very important. Even though this is humor and they’re short stories, that theory of building suspense is still there.
