Quotes

• “I had gotten really good at just shutting it all out because you couldn’t possibly get any work done and track all of this trouble you were getting into and who was saying what.”
• “the Tuskegee Airmen who were heroes to me most of my life.”
• “my first memory in life was three years old: my dad took me to see Star Wars and it's not just the first movie I remember, it's my first memory. If you ever watch Boondocks, a lot of times it does become more of an action comedy than just a pure comedy. I've always had a passion for all that”
• “As I grew up I developed an interest in Garry Trudeau, and that's what took me into the direction of being a syndicated cartoonist.”
• “You go to Comic-Con and see a cross section of everybody. It used to be niche, and now it's so enormous that it's hard to categorize. But ultimately, the epicenter of who's creating this stuff still ends up being the comic book companies, the Hollywood movies or whatever. All of that is very much white male-centered.”
• “It's a world that accepts people more for who they are, and whoever you are, at this point, you can find your thing.”
