I Was Thinking The Other Day That

More And More, I Tried To Make Comics In The Way I Like To Read Comics, And I Found That When I Read Comics That Are Really Densely Packed With Text, It May Be Rewarding When I Finally Do Sit Down And Read It, But It Never Is Going To Be The First I'm Going To Read, And I Never Am Fully Excited To Just Sit Down And Read That Comic.

It's A Challenge To Express Real Life In Dramatic Terms. In An Entirely "made-up" Story, You Are Sometimes Overwhelmed By The Infinite Possibilities.

At A Certain Point, I Realized That I Could Draw Anything, And There Was Nothing I Should Avoid - I Could Make It Work. That's Opened Me Up To Being Able To Be Much More Comfortable Telling Any Kind Of Story.

Before I Could Read, I Remember Trying To Piece Together The Stories From The Images. It Was A Very Primal Experience.

Comics Seldom Move Me The Way I Would Be Moved By A Novel Or Movie. I Say This As Someone Who Would Rather Read Comics Than Watch Movies, Listen To Music, Anything. But It's Not An Operatic Medium. I Hear Other People Talk About Being Moved To Tears By Comics. I Can't Imagine That.
