To kill a man between panels is to condemn him to a thousand deaths.

If you just write the kinds of stories you think others will want to read, you'll be competing with cartoonists who are far more enthusiastic for that kind of comic than you are, and they'll kick your ass every time.

The notion of getting under the hood and explaining how something works, that's fairly familiar territory to me.

I don't think the potential for comics in nonfiction has been exploited nearly as much as it could be.

I wouldn't necessarily have been making books about how to make comics if I'd really felt I knew how to make comics.

By stripping down an image to essential meaning, an artist can simplify that meaning.

As I see it, mainstream comics now speak only to the hardcore few who stayed; conversing in a weird, garbled, visual pig latin only they can understand - rendering the term 'mainstream' a hollow joke - while the true mainstream, the other 99.9% of the populace, find enjoyment elsewhere.
