It's good to have hobbies.

There's only one Squirrel Girl!

Failure is just success rounded down.

I believe good writing can save bad art.

It turns out childbirth is really... messy.

I am a big proponent of the pal-centric lifestyle.

Librarians are awesome; I don't care who knows it.

Yes, I've won prizes for putting words on a computer.

No offense to real jobs, but comics seemed a lot more fun.

I never actually watched 'Teletubbies.' Maybe I missed out.

I do actually do good work! And it's hard! And I'm worth it!

It's actually deeply satisfying to write a story out in full.

I actually put Jubilee in 'Squirrel Girl.' I made it a priority.

Scientists need to invent a way to make DNA work like in cartoons.

Being hungover is like winning the lottery, only they pay you in regret.

I'd hate to be writing 'Adventure Time' comics and not be excited about it.

Being online works really well for any creative work, but especially comics.

Sucking at something is the first step towards being sorta good at something.

There's tons of people doing awesome things with comics online - I'm just one dude!

You can have an idea that everyone else thinks is dumb, and it's still a good idea.

I can see people sharing my comics and talking about them, which is very gratifying.

With 'Machine of Death,' we became the #1 bestselling book on Amazon in a single day.

There are so many ways to make a book or comic, but most involve doing something online.

When I graduated, I sort of went from school to being a cartoonist, and I couldn't draw.

Your worst enemy as a writer - especially one working online a lot of the time - is obscurity.

We need to encourage our kids to express their feelings. We need to help them find their voice.

The great thing about online comics is that this happens naturally, even if you don't advertise.

This is why it's hard to talk about winning awards. You can't do it without sounding like a tool.

I thought there was something inherently interesting in people turning to gold. It's pretty cool.

You have to recognize as a creative person that not everyone's going to be into what you're doing.

Social media has been a great change. It's also a great way to disseminate comics and market them.

It's like jazz: You learn the rules to break them - as long as you can break them in a meaningful way.

Progress! Progress through everybody dying and their kids eventually not caring who their parents hated!

They are "sexcellent". That is a pun for you, you will find lots of puns on the internet! Also: blonde jokes.

I'm suddenly worried people will think that I believe their religion can be summed up on four sex-obsessed sentences.

I see Jughead as being generally this really rational dude, this anchor of sensibility in a world of boy/girl-crazy friends.

We're all already aware of boobies; it is the general state of most people in North America! THANKS, MEDIA AND THE MALE GAZE

I'm totally applying assumed Creative Commons rights and ripping this post from Jason verbatim, since it says everything I want to.

The nice thing with Shakespeare from a modern point of view is that a lot of stuff that was tragic for him can read as comic for us.

I love the idea that if you're going to travel through time, you do it in this insanely dangerous car travelling at 88 miles per hour.

A shot-down advance doesn't have to mean the end of a relationship, right? You can still be friends, as long as you're not dumb about it.

You can do so much crazy stuff with books that isn't necessarily being done. That's how culture stays alive - by doing new things with it.

You always hope a book's going to be a success. I don't think I've ever written a book thinking, 'This will be bad and no-one will like it!'

If you find you are not understanding my explaination for a joke, hit F5 on your browser and the page will refresh and I will explain it again.

If you're going to be adapting something across media, you should at least have the moves that people want you to hit and that you want to hit.

The nice thing about Squirrel Girl is that she's smart, and she looks for situations that don't necessarily involve punching people all the time.

My goal is for a complete collection of 'Squirrel Girl' comics to be equivalent to a C.S. bachelor degree. Now there's a comic that increases in value!

I read all these Marvel wikis, and there are characters that just stand out to you, and you think, 'How is this character not being used? This is crazy.'

The fun thing about writing a book with multiple paths and multiple endings is you really get to explore the characters and figure out their different fates.

I've said this before, but I think one of the reason so many of the cartoonists I know have become friends is because the Internet is a much more cooperative space.
