Okay, so whether it be a surprise or not, my inspiration for any of the things I do are based on sad, sorrowful things.  My works and pieces usually tend to be on the depressing side because of it.  While I observe what goes on around me, I see many people who are just neglecting their emotions, sadness especially, covering it up for a rainy day perhaps.  Not enough is shown in human emotion in today's society, and when it is, it's often exaggerated, almost to the point that it's unreal; this is my stance on why I write depressing stories and draw depressing things, at times, because the world lacks a sense of pure sadness.  It's also very soothing, because it's totally different from being happy.  It's INSPIR-SORROW.

After the creation of the first page of SS comic, I imagined it to be very dark, somewhat like Jhonen Vasquez's comics (I had been reading a lot of JTHM during that time).  But then, I wondered, what am I going to do for a storyline and a title?  It was at this point where it all gelled together.  I knew a couple of paranoid parents and their child and they were the primary inspiration for Siggy, Betsy, and Hank.  Almost everyone in the SS cast is partially based off of someone I know, whether that's taken as a good thing or a bad thing.  The things I come up with for each strip is also based on things that happen, not that I'm saying that pinning an envelope to a shirt actually happened.  I see normal, daily events in my head and I twist them so that it's unusual, but very possible.  However, the upcoming strips will have some real life things in them... *awkward silence* ...yeah.  So bring on the funny stuff, because this comic is taking a different turn from all of my other stuff.
