“I think, to its credit, this is one of the last forms of popular entertainment that I don’t sense to be discriminatory in any way.”

And I do think it’s sort of too bad that what once was a safe haven for truly eccentric, outsider artists is no longer that thing.

Just in terms of being able to be a professional artist, but also it’s nice to not have to dread introductions.

I think there’s a lot of evolution that’s happened in intangible ways, in terms of how I think about the work or how I plan it out.

Either thought balloons or narrations or some sort of showy action, then those thoughts and realizations never existed.

There’s been a lot of progress recently. And I shouldn’t make a definitive statement about this.

The experience of reading a comic should not be the time it takes to turn each page.

When email and the Internet came along, I never publish an email address. I just stuck with this P.O. Box address.

There are certain artists and filmmakers who, I get the impression, are trying to show off how bad their characters can be, how immoral their characters can be.

I’m very grateful for it. But at the same time, it’s not a subculture-y thing anymore; it’s something that’s in the New York Times and the New Yorker.

It’s psychologically a weird experience to be so aware of the fact that the real time of your life is moving much faster than the fictional time you’re trying to depict.

I sense a real difference in my work from the time I was younger and single and more involved in the world of music and going out to bars and all that.

I think a lot of the criticism had to do with disliking the characters – which, again, I take as something of a compliment.

For me, like, the more interesting a letter is I just get more excited and I know that this going to be great for my friends who are looking forward to reading that in my comic.

I think in terms of getting new artists who are not in that sort of stereotypical teenage boy demographic.

For a stretch of time, I got really caught up in the idea that what people liked about my work was that I was a young guy.

Especially for people of our generation, who really celebrated certain attitudes – the outsider.

How have you arrived at your thinking? Where do your ideas and knowledge come from, and why do you credit some knowledge and discredit others?

I don’t think she realized how much she cared for him, or he for her, until the end. Hasn’t someone said a woman may be known by the men who love her enough to die for her? (If they haven’t, I claim the credit myself.)

As many micro-credit schemes across the world can testify, investment in women is the best investment for the future.

The final outcome of the credit expansion is general impoverishment.

There is more credit and satisfaction in being a first-rate truck driver than a tenth-rate executive.

I’m part of this show called “Shots Fired” that is premiering on FOX. It’s right after the Super Bowl. It’s a pretty incredible show. I’m pretty much the voice of the show, so the voice of the opening credit record and the songs in between is pretty much my voice.

Depression is the aftermath of credit expansion.

The causes of all panics, crashes and depressions can be summed up in only four words: the misuse of credit.
