My Purpose Was What My Father's Purpose

I've Never Done Anything Half-heartedly. It's The Reason My Comics Did Well. It's The Reason My Comics Were Drawn Well. I Can't Do Anything Bad.

I Had To Make A Living. I Was A Married Man. I Had A Wife. I Had A Home. I Had Children. I Had To Make A Living. That's The Common Pursuit Of Every Man.

I Feel That My Characters All Have Some Part Of My Character. I Feel That They're All Me In Some Way, Certainly Not In Individuality, But They All Bear Elements Of What I Feel.

Everybody Can Draw, In My Estimation. If You Give A Man 50 Years, He'll Come Up With The Mona Lisa.

I Taught Myself How To Draw, And I Soon Found Out It Was What I Really Wanted To Do. I Didn't Think I Was Going To Create Any Great Masterpieces Like Rembrandt Or Gauguin. I Thought Comics Was A Common Form Of Art, And Strictly American In My Estimation, Because America Was The Home Of The Common Man - And Show Me The Common Man That Can't Do A Comic. So Comics Is An American Form Of Art That Anyone Can Do With A Pencil And Paper.
