I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences.
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 think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.
I'm a guy that likes to sit in one place
It's extremely seldom that anybody wants me to change what I've written about them. Generally I portray them in a good light, if they're friends
Misery loves company. There's a lot to that.
There was a survey done a few years ago that affected me greatly. it was discovered that intelligent people either estimate their intelligence accurately or slightly underestimate themselves, but stupid people overestimate their intelligence and by huge margins. (And these were things like straight up math tests, not controversial IQ tests.)
When you're dead, it robs life of many of it's pleasures
I've probably had my day in the sun. I think I've influenced a lot of comic book writers
I write scripts in storyboard fashion using stick figures, and thought balloons and word balloons and captions. Then I'll write descriptions of what scenes should look like and turn it over to the artist
I'm doing research for a large comic book on the Beat Generation guys - Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac and those guys
I try and write the way things happen. I don't try and fulfill people's wishes
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
It seemed to me you could do anything in comics. So I started doing my thing, which is mainly influenced by novelists, stand-up comedians, that sort of thing
