“First, I always write a script. It’s easier to write than to draw. I can write lying in bed, or on the subway—but I can’t draw in that condition. Once the thing is written, I begin drawing it directly in ink, and painting out things that don’t work. As you start to stage the spatial drama of a picture story—which is like a piece of theatre—you realize either which parts of the text are useless or which parts of the text are necessary. You can’t really know until you see it happening spatially, in front of you.”
