"I mean, I have that thing where I'm constantly running upstairs to put my ideas down."

See Scott paint. Paint Scott, paint. Paint whole new worlds where ninjas fight smiling sushi, clouds are actually ant farms, and E.T. can be found messing around with a mummy. Or Batman. Or a Transformer. The comic artist tickles us pink with his child-like humor, incorporating ingenius subtleties into vivid images. Something...
