SL: What keeps you inspired and motivated to keep doing this? Are you always incredibly motivated? When I started, I just kind of started and kept going. I started restructuring everything and creating source books, and doing a lot of thinking of structure and where I wanted to go with it. The four book concept started when I moved to Portland in the mid-nineties. Have you already created all four books in your mind? SL: I really like that the world feels really lived in and comfortable for the characters. Then it started getting talked about after several pages, and then it became a thing.

I guess I started thinking about doing it on the web in 2001, and I realized I wanted to do it in color… I’m not going to get a publisher for this because it’s a little odd.
JML: I intended to make a comic for a long time, and then it just made sense to do it on the web. Were you intending to create a webcomic for a while? And I started meeting a lot of other comic geeks. And they all read Spider-Man, so I went to pick up Spider-Woman, and just got really in to it. Comics I started because, oddly enough, I mostly had boys as friends growing up. Then Lord of the Rings, A Wrinkle In Time, all the classic fantasy… which kind of segued in to a lot of the classic science fiction.

Dicebox is also on comic scholar Scott McCloud's top 20 webcomics list, and was used along with Penny Arcade, Fetus-X and Questionable Content as an example of comics using the web to create "an explosion of diverse genres and styles" in McCloud's 2006 book Making Comics.
