"The first ever “The Greens” that appeared in “Electric Soup” was originally drawn as a Broons strip. I took it in, and Tommy Sommerville, Tom and Jim were the two guys and Dave Alexander of course they were the guys that started Electric soup. This was before issue 1 we were just getting it together. So, I took this Broons strip in and they loved it, but they were like you'll need to redraw it as the Greens. Change the names and change the hair styles. I was like, why? He said copyright you can’t do a Broons story. I was like, but everyone will know it’s not the real Broons. It’s not as well drawn, and this isn't the Sunday Post its Electric Soup."
"I think like, it’s a different thing being known in comics. It’s different from being a footballer or an actor or a Rockstar or something because these people are proper famous."
"The only one he didn’t give me was Professor Pyg. I was like you haven’t gave me anything for Professor Pyg. You didn’t give me a character design and he was like. “it’s so easy do you know Henry Higgins from My Fair Lady?” of course one of my favourite films. He told me. “Imagine Henry wearing a butcher’s apron and a pigs mask.” Aye got it. I did one sketch and that was it. Then a year down the line or something and my 2 boys are playing the Arkham game and there’s Professor Pyg."
"He pulls off his wig and he’s got this wee baldy head and he takes off his jacket and he’s got no shoulders at all. He takes his teeth out and he’s like “These wallies are killing my gums.”
