I Try Personally Not To Be Nostalgic.

Comics Seldom Move Me The Way I Would Be Moved By A Novel Or Movie.

I Tend To Be The Type Who Is Overly Polite And Sort Of Ingratiating To Other People.

I'd Always Wanted To Do A Weekly Strip, Or A Strip That Was In Installments Like That. It's Been Fun Trying To Figure Out How To Make That Work. Their Standards Are So Prissy That They Won't Allow Me To Use All Kinds Of Language. Not Only Can You Not Swear, This Morning I Was Informed I Couldn't Use The Word "schmuck." I Couldn't Use "crap," "schmuck," Or "get Laid." Those Three Were Beyond The Pale. But You Get Around That, And It Comes Out Better. I Can't Quite Explain Why.

Often I'll Do Research Just To Get A Time Period Correct, But I Didn't Have To For The '70s... I Feel Like I Can Close My Eyes And Still See It So Clearly.

I Feel Like A Lot Of My Aesthetic Was In Response To Feeling The Awfulness And Cheapness Of That [ The 70'th].
