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

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.

I Think Most Things I Read On The Internet And In Newspapers Are Propaganda. Everyone From The 'new York Times' To Rupert Murdoch Has A Point Of View And Is Putting Forth Their Own Propaganda. They're Stuck With The Facts As They Are, But The Way They Interpret And Frame Them Is Wildly Different.

I Always Knew It Would Come Down To You And The Big Blue School Boy. Planet's Too Big For The Both Of You. When It All Comes Down, I Want A Piece Of Him. A Small Piece, Will Do? For Old Times, Sake, You Know..it Still Hurts When Its Cold.

I Grew Up On The Crime Stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, And Noir Movies Like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I First Showed Up In New York To Write Comics Back In The Late 1970s, I Came With A Bunch Of Crime Stories But Everybody Just Wanted Men In Tights.

In The Comic-book World, There Tends To Be An Overblown Sense Of Tradition. Bad Habits Die Hard. There Are Ways I Think The Form Could Work More Effectively If We Lost The Bad Habits That Were Created Before We Were Born.
