I decided I was going to tell these stories. I went around and met Crumb. He was the cartoonist. I started realizing comics weren't just kid stuff.
I think comics have far more potential than a lot of people realize.
People will believe absurd things - in the 19th century and now.
I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.
Everybody's like everybody else, and everybody's different from everybody else.
I met Robert Crumb in 1962; he lived in Cleveland for a while. I took a look at his stuff. Crumb was doing stuff beyond what other writers and artists were doing. It was a step beyond Mad.
