But you know, I was up in Toronto
a few weeks back.

:25:04
I saw the Red Chinese ballet.
Now, that was beautiful.

:25:07
The way those people
were dancing together...

:25:09
those Chinese, they work hard, I tell you.
:25:14
Where's everybody going?
:25:24
Where are you sick men rushing off to?
:25:28
You ain't going nowhere for now.
:25:31
Probably not for a long time.
:25:34
But damn if they're not a rushing off
to get there.

:25:52
Harvey, how do your co-workers and friends
feel about you putting them in your comics?

:25:57
They love it. They can't get enough of it.
:26:02
They come up to me demanding to know
why I'm not in the new issue.

:26:06
Most of them.
:26:07
What about overhearing what people say?
Are you always listening at work?

:26:11
Were you listening riding the bus?
:26:14
- The supermarket?
- Yeah, I listen.

:26:18
I fall asleep on people, too,
but I listen some.

:26:35
Here's our man, eight comics later.
:26:40
A brand new decade, same old bullshit.
:26:47
Sure, he gets lots of recognition
for his writing now.

:26:51
His comics are praised by all the important
media types telling people what to think.

:26:56
But so what?
:26:57
It's not like he makes
a living at it, like Bob Crumb.
