I think comics have far more potential than a lot of people realize.

I think that the so-called average person often exhibits a great deal of heroism in getting through an ordinary day . . .

I'm sure someone out there has a workable solution. But what do I know? I make comic books and write about jazz. I do know the difference between right and wrong, though.

And no business can possibly equate happy workers (community) with profit (effectiveness). Happy workers are much more productive workers and hence contribute to profit, but no organization is formed for the idea of pleasing its employees.

I wanted to write literature that pushed people into their lives rather than helping people escape from them.

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

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.
