In 2005, I met a film producer from Los Angeles at my church. I let her see a couple of my comic books and she told me that they weren’t developed enough. That made me sad at first, as if people couldn’t recognize how hard I worked on my art.

But I’ve kept drawing.

My dream is to sell my comic strips to a newspaper syndicate. So far, I’ve drawn hundreds of comics, including more “Roommates” strips with two new characters, Pudge and Charlie, and comics for Sunday newspapers as well as weekday ones.

To tell you the truth, I feel that “Me And My Roommates” is going to be my breadwinner soon — if one of the comic syndicates agrees.
