Abandon the 'I', because it's a lie.

Sometimes it’s only madness that makes us what we are.

It's salt. Why don't you sprinkle some on me, honey? Aren't I just good enough to eat?

I can always see ways to improve what I've done. At the same time, knowing it's all an ongoing life's work allows me to be less precious about blind alleys, failed experiments, and misfires.

And that's why people read comics, to get away from the way life works, which is quite cruel and unheroic and ends in death.

The 'medium' is unaware of its attractiveness, that's all. Everyone loves comics. I've proven this to my own satisfaction by handing them out to acountants, insurance brokers, hairdressers, mothers of children, black belts, pop stars, taxi drivers, painters, lesbians, doctors etc. etc. The X-Files, Buffy, the Matrix, X-Men - mainstream culture is not what it once was when science fiction and comics fans huddled in cellars like Gnostic Christians dodging the Romans. We should come up into the light soon before we suffocate.

I won't tell you again! Don't look back! In hell you never look back!
