I now feel that I have a moral duty to course correct and say wait a minute, it's not just for adults.

The image by Barry Blitt of Barack Obama and Michelle in the White House with him dressed as a terrorist, her dressed as an Angela Davis character, a flag burning in the chimney, a portrait of Bin Laden on the wall is an image I'm extremely proud of.

There is a visual narrative that is implicitly understandable even when you don't understand the words and in a good comic, and they are hard to find, but good comics have parallel intertwined narratives.

The artists catch what's in the air. It's not because the artist "felt like it" or is a guru who channels the truth of the universe in some opaque, abstract way, or even in a realistic painting. The comics artist is someone who has the humility to set himself up in public culture and to communicate with the reader. If your image doesn't make sense, it's your problem, and I shouldn't publish it.

You can't help putting a lot of yourself into the image and when it's printed the reader can spend hours getting it out.

Comics are actually dubbed by euphemistic label of graphic novel, which became a big deal.

Plastic surgery is such a displacement. If people feel good in their skin, then they're beautiful, end of story.
