2. What Arthur stories are there?

3. Do use computer when you write stories?

4. Are your children’s names hidden in your books? Yes. There’s one book where they are not hidden: Arthur’s nose. I didn’t get the idea to hide until the second book, Arthur’s eye’s. one day my sons were fighting in my studio, and I hid there names in the illustrations I was working on and asked them to see if they could go find them. It took them an hour, and I thought , hmmm … this is a good game.

5. Why did you first start writing the Arthur books? Because I had lost all of my other jobs. I was a truck driver but I kept getting lost, short order cook but I didn’t want to catch fish hit it with rye and put a pare of shoes on it, then I was a TV art director and I got fired because I wanted to put the weather girl on a swing during the six o’clock news and she would be dressed as a fairy a weather fairy. I was at home one night and my son Tolon asked me to tell him a bed time story. He said tell me a story about a weird animal. And I was thinking alphabetically so aardvark popped into my head. Now Tolon works with me and helps me with the television show; he’s an assistant producer. Writing books puts together my favourite : thinking up stories, drawing and working with kids.
