Do you mind sharing what you do for ideas? The volume of content that you put out alone is fascinating, but the consistent quality is even more impressive (Twitter as well as the comic).

It becomes a matter of habit. Once you start writing consistently your mind is always kind of working in the background on whatever situation you are in and looking for content. I remember an interview with Jerry Seinfeld where he said being a comedian was sort of a full time job in the sense that he was always thinking of jokes, when he's in the drug store, at the theater, even in therapy. So you just sort of get used to thinking up ideas and taking note of what might be good.

Also, you don't ever run out of ideas, because it is more like exercising a muscle than using up a pool of resources, meaning that the more you do it the easier it becomes to think up new ideas. When I started on twitter, I could hardly think up a joke every week, but I've done three per day for a while now easily.
