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

But generally speaking, people weren't fired, art jobs were very hard to get, so something really calamitous had to happen to a person who was working there in order for you to find a space.

Precision is not one of the qualities that comes out in my work.

I was hired as a penciler.

If I had one quality that really ruined me and at the same time helped me, it was the fact that I never stopped looking, and by that time I was really working at it.

I was hired to do as many Boy Commando, Newsboy Legion, and Sandman stories as I could.

I just saw the emotion in everything, so I got to feel everything that was going on and that I was viewing, but I couldn't think in terms of structure, which is the whole point of deep focus.
