I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.

Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.

I'm sure someone out there has a workable solution. But what do I know? I make comic books and write about jazz. I do know the difference between right and wrong, though.

I met Robert Crumb in 1962; he lived in Cleveland for a while. I took a look at his stuff. Crumb was doing stuff beyond what other writers and artists were doing. It was a step beyond Mad.

I'd been familiar with comics, and I'd collected 'em when I was a kid, but after I got into junior high school, there wasn't much I was interested in

I really don't have a lot in common with the people who attend the Comic Con. It's like assuming that all people who write prose are the same.

I mean, you want the truth as you wanna hear it? I can't do that. You couldn't afford me.

Resentments are like swallowing poison and waiting for the other person to die.

Like watches over like, as the saying goes.

All artists are now free to express their own personality.

Perhaps the way with any obsession is to ignore it simply. Not to fight it, since it draws strength from any contact with us, whether hostile or friendly.

I myself used to believe ideas didn't matter that much, but I'm very sure that's wrong now.

I want people to understand that from the minute Lady Gaga arrived, she created a new set of rules: being different is good; embrace it.

The List is Life.
