Some choice parts:

Then what does inspire you to make cartoons?

RB: I love "The Daily Show." I love sketch comedy, and that's been a huge influence on my humor and writing style, things like Monty Python, "Kids in the Hall" and "Mr. Show." I'll watch a show like that and get really excited, and I'll want to do what they're doing. That will inspire me to write a comic

Personally, I love the God-Man strips. They're silly and subversive.

RB: While that is also quite popular, God-Man gets very negative reactions -- more than any other character, in fact. People seem to take offense to any comments about religion. It's sort of ironic because these same people wonder why there is very little discussion of religion in American culture, but when I introduce the subject, their tendency is to want to shut it down. They seem to miss the point: God-Man isn't actually God. He is a straw man that I'm using to make fun of some people's very simplistic views about religion and philosophy. They literally forget that and think that I'm offending God Himself with these strips.

And a few strips for fun's sake:

I really like the "Yuks" on this one:
