I was not too smart and constantly mouthed off and didn't know anything.

I think the lack of precision and deep focus is why it took me years to build up my work.

It was exactly an assembly line. You could look into infinity down these rows of drawing tables.

In other words, DC was never harmed by the paper shortages.
