Interruption
This is a series I call “So You’re a Cartoonist?” which deals with all of the typical questions or remarks I receive whenever I tell people that I draw cartoons for a living.
I hate being interrupted when I’m working because I can never seem to be able to jump right back into what I was doing. Usually this is more or less a problem when I’m about to go to bed, but it happens sometimes if I am interrupted in the middle of working too. For this reason I keep notes always on hand and write down ideas for pictures, jokes, expressions, plot points, etc on anything that’s available around me... just in case...

My way of avoiding such is to write down the story first. It also helps on the creativity.

I HATE when that happens... and having three younger siblings, it can be frequent at times.

It takes a person up to 1/2 an hour to regain concentration after being interrupted.

I don't have to worry about that, I use to until people realized I went from quiet and relatively polite to turning into a cat that just had water thrown on it if they interrupted me when I was "in the zone". (I always apologize afterwards for my moment of evil)

Sometimes I wear headphones without music while I'm writing, just so people think I can't hear them anyway so they leave me alone.

This is why when I am interrupted, my response is "This had better be important"
