The comic hasn’t come out yet and I’ve been doing some unrelated freelance work for [production company] Klasky Csupo. Gábor Csupo asked me: ‘Hey, do you have any ideas for movies?’ And I said, ‘Well, I’m making this comic …’ They saw Duckman and they liked it. So we agreed to do it. But yes, there is always such a fear. Even if I set the tone of the comic – all the basic relationships are already there and all the characters, like Cornfeld and King Chicken, Bernice and so on. And in Gábor, I felt confident. So we started promoting it on networks … we always try to be a Duckman show for adults. You know, the Simpsons have something for adults and something for kids, but we really want it for adults. I’m not sure FOX let us, He said.”
