I didn’t come back to comics or to drawing until my 20s when – I don’t suppose this is an unusual story – I discovered Art Spiegelman and Chris Ware. “Years ago, me and my friend, Chris, were knocking about ideas for sketches, and I had one for a milkman who was obsessed with being tall. I set it in Lancashire, in a place like the one I grew up in: Ormskirk, which was quite bland and suburban… extraordinarily normal, I suppose you’d say. The influence of Chris Ware seems obvious. I really like Chris Ware, but I’m not deliberately trying to be like him.
