I don't write about certain arguments I have with my wife. I'd get my head torn off if wrote about certain things. |
People who are readers of fiction aren't particularly interested in comic books. |
I've probably had my day in the sun. I think I've influenced a lot of comic book writers. |
It's extremely seldom that anybody wants me to change what I've written about them. Generally I portray them in a good light, if they're friends. |
There hasn't been enough change in comics to suit me. I don't know why exactly. |
I thought I had a great opportunity when I started doing my comic book in 1972. I thought there was so much territory to work in. |
I'd been familiar with comics, and I'd collected 'em when I was a kid, but after I got into junior high school, there wasn't much I was interested in. |
I really don't have a lot in common with the people who attend the Comic Con. It's like assuming that all people who write prose are the same. |
I think the people who would be the least interested in my work would be people who read lots of comic books. |
I decided I was going to tell these stories. I went around and met Crumb. He was the cartoonist. I started realizing comics weren't just kid stuff. |
