I'm doing research for a large comic book on the Beat Generation guys - Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac and those guys

It didnt take long to establish myself, as far as people thinking my work was good. They liked it from the start.

I thought I had a great opportunity when I started doing my comic book in 1972. I thought there was so much territory to work in.

It's the stuff that happens right in front of your face when there's no routine and everything is unexpected. That's what I want to write about.

I realize that I'm pretty flawed, but you know - I haven't killed anybody yet.

I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences.

I try and write the way things happen. I don't try and fulfill people's wishes
