Time Management: Between 2000 and 2002, I generated not only a five-day-a-week comic strip but also all the paintings and drawings that were exhibited in my Los Angeles exhibition of 2002. However, spending so much time drawing a comic strip for so few eyesballs began to wear on me once my New York Press connection dried up.
Around 2006, I started making the Profiles in Confusion single frame comics, which required less room for drawing and more room for writing. This allowed for a faster turnaround time on strips. (These strips reside on other pages within my comics portal.)
Inspiration: Basil Wolverton was an influence when it came to drawing comics. As for writing, The New Yorker cartoons were as cleverly written as they were drawn, although the drawing has grown less clever over the decades; and perhaps also the writing. Absurdist Wolverton and sophisticated New Yorker are polar-opposite types of humor; and yet I wanted to live in both worlds.
