Quote Of The Week
"People talk about breaking into comics, but there is no breaking in. If you're not compelled to make comics by a deep visceral need that doesn't let you go, then you're not going to be able to make it. There's no breaking in, only doing it." -- Colleen Coover (I'm guessing it was "breaking in" and not "breaking it" as the text says, but I could be wrong and my apologies if I am.)
