John Zakour: Well, I started as a database programmer who went to being writer / Web guru. They say write what you know.

Aurora Dizon: Can you tell me a little bit about the artist you work with on Working Daze?

John Zakour: His name is Scott Roberts. Scott is the third artist I've worked with on Working Daze. Scott's a great guy and has a lot of input into the direction of Working Daze. I met Scott while working on the Rugrats comic strip. Scott can draw in numerous styles. We have a graphic Web novel called Sam 3.14 PI (about a robot PI with a human brain) coming to iPods and iPhones soon from iVerse.

Aurora Dizon: What inspires you to write?

John Zakour: I like entertaining people (and myself) but I am a bit of an introvert, so writing is the perfect outlet. Plus, I like getting paid money for making things up. That's hard to do outside of advertising and of course politics. (My dad worked for an advertising company, so I had been writing slogans for a LONG time. I kind of wanted to do that for a living when I was younger, but my dad wanted me to have a "real" job.)
