You Don't... Get It, Boy... This Isn't

The Larger-than-life Thing Is Definitely What I'm After. I've Always Drawn Dark Stories. Occasionally, I'll Try A Perfect Hero, But It's A Real Stretch For Me. I Like 'em Warts And All, And Obsessive And Weird.

Think Of Me As The Weathered Sheriff Coming Back Into Dodge 'cause The Youngsters Are Shooting Up The Church And Scaring The Horses And Not Doing Right By The Women.

"comic Book" Has Come To Mean A Specific Genre, Not A Story Form, In People's Minds. So Someone Will Call Die Hard "a Comic-book Movie," When It Has Nothing To Do With Comic Books. I'd Rather Have Comics Be The Vehicle By Which Stories Are Told.

But I'm Not Trying To Convince Anybody How To Vote Or How To Live. Nobody's Ever Successfully Accused Me Of Being Realistic.

Comic-book Pages Are Vertical, And Movie Screens Are Relentlessly Horizontal. But It's All The Same Form. We Use Different Tools, But We Get The Job Done. I'm Completely In Love With Cgi. It's Great For Conveying A Cartoonist's Sense Of Reality.
