Phil Foglio

I didn't really think about becoming a professional artist until high school, when I realized that everything else required too much math.

As it happened, I had a friend who was a good person who liked to present himself as a dreadful one. Using him as a role model, I created the first Buck Godot strip.

We start out talking about the story, trying to figure out who is who and what should happen, taking notes the whole time. Then I do a rough layout of the issue, showing what happens on each page. Then we discuss that some more.

If we had to go live action, I'd hold out for Tim Burton to direct.
