The reason I started to do comics for kids, the real reason is because it worked for me.

Comics are a gateway into literature.

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.

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.

It's useful to be born in a different culture because you see things that are not obvious. I come from France. In France, there isn't a pretense of objectivity in publishing. I discovered - and I don't agree with it - that in the US, the New York Times or The New Yorker has to pretend to be objective, and if they present this point of view then they have to also present the other side.

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