“A comic book is the opposite of a cartoon. In a cartoon, you want to simplify the idea, so when they look at it at a glance, they get it. Boom. Simple. Direct to the point. But when you're drawing Groo, now it's a narrative, a story. You want the viewer to get involved in the story. You want him to feel like he's in the town to follow your main character. So I love to add lots and lots of things in it. Things that people will enjoy going back to and say, "Oh yeah, that's how a market must have looked in this fantasy world, with people selling meat here and dishes here."” PeopleWorldWantFeelsLooksBookIdeasCharacterStoriesEnjoySimpleFantasyInvolvedDirectOppositesTownsYeahAddDrawingSellingComicNarrativeMeatDishesComic BookCartoonViewersGlancesGet InvolvedSimplifyWant HimMain CharactersFantasy Worlds Author:Sergio Aragones
“When I'm drawing a bottle or a town or a market, I transport myself there. So I start drawing everything that I'm looking at while I'm there. Here's a guy selling the meat, and he will have a hook, and you start adding things, and it's a lot of fun.” GuyFunTownsDrawingSellingMeatBottlesHookTransport Author:Sergio Aragones
“The difference between me and many young people is, I don't carry music with me. I like to think. I don't use any modern convenience to be talking to other people, because I like my time to think. I go to the garden in the morning, and this time, I'm thinking ideas, I'm not drawing, I'm thinking.” PeopleThinkingIdeasUseYoungDifferencesTalkingMorningModernGardenDrawingMy TimeConvenienceTime To ThinkModern Conveniences Author:Sergio Aragones
“My work is so unorthodox that from one panel to the next, the drawings are completely different... totally opposed to the way of working in something like animation, where every drawing has to look like the one before.” WayLooksDifferentNextDrawingAnimationUnorthodox Author:Sergio Aragones

“Sometimes, you start with the drawing and then the gag comes to you in the middle of it. That is when you start working on the solution of the gag, which is composition, placing, equilibrium, and character design.” SometimesCharacterMiddleDesignSolutionsDrawingCompositionEquilibriumGagsCharacter Design Author:Sergio Aragones
“When you're drawing comics, you get very involved in how the story is going to develop and you spend more time daydreaming on that particular subject.” StoriesSubjectsParticularInvolvedDrawingMore TimeDaydreaming Author:Sergio Aragones
