A nice easy place for freedom of speech to be eroded is comics because comics are a natural target whenever an election comes up.

Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that's Hollywood.

Oh yeah I was one of the first guys writing comic books I wrote Captain America with guys like Stan Lee who became famous later on with Marvel Comics.

Comics don't work if the story is all in the text and the images are illustrative. It's hard to have enough faith in the artists to allow them to do their job.

I'm in a comic book now. That was cool. That's something that I'm still sorta reeling about 'cause I read comics as a kid. Someone drew me and actually did a pretty good job!

I think my printing to this day looks like the printing right out of a comic book. Actually I always wanted to be in a comic book. I watched cartoons when I was a kid too and both comics and cartoons lit fire in my imagination. This realm holds a lot of interest for me a lot of passion for me. So to be comic-ized yeah that's cool.

Today comics is one of the very few forms of mass communication in which individual voices still have a chance to be heard.

The quickest way to defuse fear or insecurity or anger is usually humor. I think comics figure that out quickly and once you figure it out you think 'Hey if I can do this and get paid that would be kind of cool.'

Comics are so full of amazing work. And I can't look at a drawing of a woman without thinking of for instance Wallace Wood and his amazing way of capturing beauty.

For a while I felt very alone sort of out there in the world of comics especially here in the States.

The only people who like to live alone more than comics are priests.

Comics for me is being able to sing alone in the shower. I find it freeing. You just pick up a pen and get to it.
