A friend of mine gave me a very good piece of advice, which is if you don't think your kids are going to want it, don't take it.
Roz ChastI used to love to draw things that made me laugh or made friends laugh. When I was 13 or 14, I started thinking, This is what I like to do more than anything else.
Roz ChastI cannot stand superheroes. I do not understand any of its appeal. It has just bored me to death since I was a little kid.
Roz ChastThe fact that cartoons are reproduced doesn't mean anything to me as far as whether they are "real art" or not.
Roz ChastI love seeing original cartoons. You get to see the artist's corrections, like erasures or Wite-Out or patches, and you get to see the artist's line in better detail, and what kind of ink they use - whether they like a cold black or a warm black, and what kind of paper they like, how big or small they like to draw - art nerd stuff like that.
