I think I have a very clear vision of what I want things to look like.

It's much more liberating as a artist to feel like you can approach each page and each panel with the way that inspires you the most. I think the thing that bogs down a lot of artists is that you're kind of stuck drawing in a style you've developed.

I love the medium and I love individual comics, but the business is nothing I would be proud of.

I think I've had the fantasy of a ray-gun that could erase the world from the time I was a very little kid.

If you think about it enough to have a really articulate answer, you're not doing it right. That's how I feel about art. If your thought process could take you to knowing exactly what you're doing and why, there would be no point in making the art. It would become like propaganda. It's more nebulous than that.

I feel like a lot of my aesthetic was in response to feeling the awfulness and cheapness of that [ the 70'th].

Though to the average person that you'll meet on an airplane, if you tell them you draw comics, they'll still have sort of the same response - not like that's seeped into the culture at large, that comics are not just for kids.
