As it happened, I had a friend who was a good person who liked to present himself as a dreadful one. Using him as a role model, I created the first Buck Godot strip. - Phil Foglio
One of the characteristics I cherish in my friends is their childlike gullibility, and several excited minutes were spent trying to actually find this book. - Phil Foglio
We start out talking about the story, trying to figure out who is who and what should happen, taking notes the whole time. Then I do a rough layout of the issue, showing what happens on each page. Then we discuss that some more. - Phil Foglio
My only requirement for that first story was that there had to be a fight or an explosion on every page. Naturally, no one wanted to publish it, but I liked the character, did a few stories to keep my hand in. - Phil Foglio
