I Write About What I Know And

Ive Spent My Whole Life Working In A Medium That Was Regarded With Contempt Largely Because Of Historical Reasons.

Superheroes Are Mostly Aimed At Young Teen-age Males Concerned With Their Manhood. The Medium Will Have To Address Itself More To Content. . . . I See 22 Year Olds Draw Massive Schwarzenegger Types, Outfitted With Metal Studs, Pressing A Mostly Naked Woman To Their Breastplates. And I Think Poor Girl, Thats Got To Be Cold.

Humor Has Historically Been Tied To The Mores Of The Day. The Yellow Kid Was Predicated On What People Thought Was Funny About The Immigrant Irish. When You're Different In A Society, You're Funny.

Before World War Ii, I Was Living A Very Cloistered Existence, As Most Cartoonists Do. The Work I Was Pouring Out Did Not Come From Any Real, Personal Life Experience; This Was All The Residue Of The Accumulation Of Rafael Sabatini, O. Henry, All The Short-story Writers That I'd Been Reading.

I Write About What I Know And What I Have Experienced. This Keeps Me An "honest" Writer.
