Blah Blah Blah

image"Because of my social situation, it wasn't so much cool but it was my thing. It made me unique and it was accepted among my friends, you know, when we were hanging around summer camp and it was a rainy day, everyone would read my comics, and we ended up sitting around and talking about them all day. It wasn't anything they gravitated to, but it would be a fun afternoon or something. They respected me for it, didn't shun me for it. But I'm sure that if I went to public school I would be the nerdy loser that no one spoke to, who ate paper." Brian Bendis, in a snippet cut from his forthcoming interview in The Comics Journal.

image"Ce media presente sans doute de grands potentiels, mais comme je suis encore loin d'avoir developpe tous les miens avec les moyens classiques... Je prefere continuer ma voie, ma poetique, poursuivre mon propre delire..." The great Lorenzo Mattotti in something related to A Suivre giving on-line media its due but suggesting that may not be the place for him as he hasn't even mastered his own medium of choice yet.

image"I'm not really sure what it is that people react to. I hope it's the honesty. I don't know if there really is a common element to the reactions, but they are usually strong. It still surprises me, really, because this is just how I draw and what I love, and it's amazing that other people love it too." -- Andy Runyon to Gerhard on reader responses to his Owly.
