No it’s not May yet. It’s still January. It’s always January. There’s still a week of January left.
This feels like the longest January ever

John - When you write, do you roughly plot a year in advance and then write issue to issue? I don't know how you find time to write when you're busy drawing full pages every day.

I finally had the chance to go back and look at all of the pages in order in the other thread. Really cool! Best new comic that I've read in a while. Hope you ink it if it goes forward.

Here's a question or two: how much thought to you give to the passage of time and seasons when plotting the stories?
And is any season "harder" to draw / write than others? (looking back over some of your "winter scenes" though, I have to declare you the Master of Winter Nights. Such texture and contrast!)

Traditionally, I draw my stories to correspond approximately to the season in which they will be published. My winters, incidentally, are inspired by the British cartoonist Giles, who did the Best. Snow. Ever.

Good reason to keep the primary story to 2-3 issues!

Not a consideration. After all, these stories survive long past their publication dates.

Such a fun and insightful tour of your studio. You come across as such a genuine and humble guy - I thought you weren't made out to be that way!

GAH!!! Superboy/Lincoln story misidentified in the on-screen caption. (Plus, I’ve lost 20 pounds...)
