:20:34
Oh, shit!
:20:36
Ever since I read your stuff, man,
I've been thinking...
:20:40
I can write comic book stories...
:20:42
that are different from anything
that's been done.
:20:48
I figure the guys who are doing
animal comics...
:20:51
and superhero stuff, they're really limited.
:20:55
Because they got to try to appeal to kids.
:20:57
And underground stuff like yours
has been really subversive...
:21:01
and it's opened things up politically...
:21:03
but there's still plenty more
to be done with them, too.
:21:06
Pass the ketchup.
:21:09
The words, the pictures,
they could be more of an art form.
:21:13
You know, like those French movies...
:21:18
or De Sica over in Italy.
:21:24
So, anyway, I tried...
:21:28
I tried writing some stuff about real life...
:21:32
stuff that the everyman's got to deal with.
:21:37
These are all about you?
:21:40
Yeah.
:21:42
You've turned yourself into a comic hero.
:21:44
Sort of, but there's no idealized shit.
:21:48
There's no phony bullshit.
This is the real thing, man.
:21:53
You know, ordinary life
is pretty complex stuff.
