Breaking box-office records, Walt Disney's "Inside Out" debuted earlier this month with rave reviews from adults and children alike.
In a New York Times interview, "Inside Out" director and co-writer Pete Docter praises the work of Richard Thompson:
"I just bought a pile of crow-quill pen nibs. You know, the kind you dip in ink before you draw. Richard Thompson, the author of one of my all-time favorite comic strips called Cul de Sac, is a big pen-nib fan, and I bought them under the belief that once I owned these nibs I would be able to draw as well as Thompson. I'm thinking it might also help if I slept with them under my pillow." - via The New York Times
