I Get A Lot Of Comics, And I Can Look At A Comic And Tell Immediately Whether I'll Enjoy It Or Not. There Are Elements In The Stories That I Have No Rapport With. I See Dirty Language, I See Sleazy Backgrounds; I See It Reflected In The Movies, The Movies Are Comics To Me. And I Don't See A Sleazy World. I See Hope. I See A Positive World.

My Parents Loved Me. My Father Used To Carry Me Around On My Shoulders. I Know My Father Loved Me. All Families Love Their Children, And We Were Good Boys.
