Hey! My seven-year-old daughter LOVES Jedi Academy and can't wait for me to pick her up a copy of Return of the Padawan. Your Star Wars books are seriously some of the best (for lack of a better term) "media tie-in kids' books" I've ever read. They have great characters, a fantastic homemade feel... there's soul in those books, which is AWESOME to stumble upon, as a parent who finds himself reading your books to his kid at bedtime pretty often.

I have to say - My daughter demanded that I buy her a copy of Kids Are Weird when we saw it at the bookstore. I balked (wasn't sure if it was for kids or parents), but I bought it anyway and she adores it. It makes her cackle like a madwoman. Kids, apparently, love reading about other kids' hilarious non-sequitirs. So my question is - do you plan on doing any more all-ages autobiographical comics about your son?

Awesome. My daughter seriously drops quotes form KAW all the time. We were at our local ice cream shop, my daughter got a sample, and said out loud "This tastes like human feet." The owner was all "Oh, it does? I'm sorry, I don't know why..." and I had explain "She's just quoting from a book she reads. Tell the man it tastes good."

Are there any monsters from literature, movies, or myth that you've always wanted to work into a story, but haven't had the chance to yet?

Mike - Just so you know, every time I'm about to start a new trip or adventure, I lock eyes with a friend and shout "PAPRIKA CHICKEN!" It's become my own personal version of "Onward HO!", so thanks for that.
