I don't care how good you play, you can find somebody who can beat you, and I don't care how bad you play, you can find somebody you can beat.
People who are readers of fiction aren't particularly interested in comic books.
It's the stuff that happens right in front of your face when there's no routine and everything is unexpected. That's what I want to write about.
Every ethnic group thinks they are the chosen ones. …
I wanted to write literature that pushed people into their lives rather than helping people escape from them.
It makes you feel good to know that there's other people afflicted like you.
Even a pretty traditional comic book writer can make valuable contributions to the Internet.
It didnt take long to establish myself, as far as people thinking my work was good. They liked it from the start.
Im pretty aggressive, and maybe obnoxious, about trying to get work.
Everybody's like everybody else, and everybody's different from everybody else.
You do not pursue potential conflict unless you hold power over your foe.
I felt more alone that week than any. Sometimes I'd feel a body lying next to me like an amputee feels a phantom limb. All I did was think about Jennie Gerhardt and Alice Quinn and all the decades of people I had known. The more I thought, the more I felt like crying. Life seemed so sweet and so sad, and so hard to let go of in the end. But hey, man, every day is a brand new deal, right? Just keep on working and something's bound to turn up.
And no business can possibly equate happy workers (community) with profit (effectiveness). Happy workers are much more productive workers and hence contribute to profit, but no organization is formed for the idea of pleasing its employees.
I continue to be disappointed that people don't try and diversify the kind of work they are doing in comics.
