Scott McCloud Thinking Quotations

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

My dad was an inventor, and I think I've always had a rosy view of technology, or at least its potential.

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.

Nobody knows what will work until they try it. Some of comics' biggest success stories in recent years have explored subjects that no one was writing about at the time - stories no one had any reason to think would succeed. My advice? Write what you want to read. You'll have more fun doing it - and if all else fails, you'll always have at least one loyal reader.
