drawing stories daydreaming
When you're drawing comics, you get very involved in how the story is going to develop and you spend more time daydreaming on that particular subject.
stories mediums
Comics is a great medium to get a lot of stories out.
humorous gdp want
Eventually I would like to touch all the genres. I would like to do some detective stories, and I want to do a Western. I would want to do humorous Westerns.
grief sadness train-of-thought
When sadness happens in the middle of work, I separate my personal grief from my train of thought.
suspense-novels important stories
Suspense is very important. Even though this is humor and they're short stories, that theory of building suspense is still there.
silly writing thinking
Anyone can write a story based on the kind of horror where you see a guy in car and then there's the bad guy in the back seat. It's infantile to rely on that for telling a story. That's like going to bed and thinking there's a monster under your bed. It's silly.
drawing looks way
My work is so unorthodox that from one panel to the next, the drawings are completely different... totally opposed to the way of working in something like animation, where every drawing has to look like the one before.
trying end-of-the-world world
At the end of the '60s, I was trying to enter the world of comics.
cat halos tails
If a cat had a halo, it would probably wear it around it's tail. It makes a statement.
individual-effort effort individual
Freedom is not an individual effort. Yours comes only when you grant others theirs
thinking scary brain
I think that true horror is accomplished by slowly getting into your brain. The old way is much more scary.
thinking drawing way
If the gag is complicated, you spend more time thinking about the way you're drawing it.
