American Splendor is just an ongoing journal. It's an ongoing autobiography. I started it when I was in my early 30s, and I just keep going.

I don't write about certain arguments I have with my wife. I'd get my head torn off if wrote about certain things.

It makes you feel good to know that there's other people afflicted like you.

It's extremely seldom that anybody wants me to change what I've written about them. Generally I portray them in a good light, if they're friends

I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.

Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.

Im pretty aggressive, and maybe obnoxious, about trying to get work.
