I Hated To Fight All The Time

An Artist Has To Be Humble, An Editor Must Be Officious, And A Publisher Must Be Somewhere Out In The Galaxy Enjoying Godhood. It Was A Caste System, Pure And Simple. And It Was Accepted That Way. Nobody Thought Of Contracts, Nobody Thought Of Insisting On Better Deals.

I Want To Be Better Than Five Guys. I Was That Way When I Used To Box, I Was That Way In Any Sport. I Want To Compete With Five Other Guys. If I Beat Five Other Guys, I'd Like To See If I Can Beat Six.

Everybody Was Wary. This Was A Time When Communists Marched Through The Streets, Waving Flags And Shouting. The Unions Did The Same Thing So You Began To Associate Them.

There Are People That I Didn't Like, But I Saw Them Suffer And It Changed Me. I Promised Myself That I Would Never Tell A Lie, Never Hurt Another Human Being, And I Would Try To Make The World As Positive As I Could.

If You're Drawing A Western Town, You Can Duplicate That Western Town From Instinct Alone. Some Artists May Take It From Other Illustrations Or Duplicate What You've Drawn, But It Will Never Have That Gut Reality That's Instinctive In The Artist.
