I Felt The Comics Grew Because They

I Was A Good Student In The Subjects That I Wanted To Be Good In. The Curriculum In My Section Was Excellent.

I Wasn't The Kind Of Student That Pratt Was Looking For. They Wanted Patient People Who Would Work On Something Forever. I Didn't Want To Work On Any Project Forever. I Intended To Get Things Done.

I Taught Myself How To Draw, And I Soon Found Out It Was What I Really Wanted To Do. I Didn't Think I Was Going To Create Any Great Masterpieces Like Rembrandt Or Gauguin. I Thought Comics Was A Common Form Of Art, And Strictly American In My Estimation, Because America Was The Home Of The Common Man - And Show Me The Common Man That Can't Do A Comic. So Comics Is An American Form Of Art That Anyone Can Do With A Pencil And Paper.

If A Carpenter Makes A Chair That's Comfortable For The Person Who's Going To Sit In It, He's Done His Job. If A Train Engineer Gets A Train In On Time, He's Going To Make Someone Happy Who's Waiting At The Station. And If An Artist Draws The Kind Of A Picture That People Are Going To Enjoy Looking At, Or He Makes A Visual Story Which People Are Going To Enjoy Reading, He's Done His Job.

I Feel That Any Man That Tries, Any Man That Comes Out With Something We Like, Is A Good Man. A Man Doesn't Have To Be Leonardo Da Vinci To Be Sincere.
