1) I enjoy a variety of comics. Most notably I'd say anything by Jeff Smith. His old series Bone and his new series RASL. It's a real side that Jeff is beginning to explore.

He's one of the new herd that are approaching comics without the prejudices my generation came in with. So because they are making all sorts of things that my generation would call mistakes, that were trained not to do, these are young artists without prejudice and I would say (to be fair) they do about 80% of it wrong and about 20% of it brilliantly. I'm learning all kinds of things from 'em.
