If America Gave Anybody Anything It Is

I Taught Myself How To Draw, And I Soon Found Out It Was What I Really Wanted To Do. I Didn't Think I Was Going To Create Any Great Masterpieces Like Rembrandt Or Gauguin. I Thought Comics Was A Common Form Of Art, And Strictly American In My Estimation, Because America Was The Home Of The Common Man - And Show Me The Common Man That Can't Do A Comic. So Comics Is An American Form Of Art That Anyone Can Do With A Pencil And Paper.

I Achieved Perfection, My Type Of Perfection - Visual Storytelling. Storytelling Was My Style.

You Fought Fair. If The Other Guy Wants To Fight And You Knocked Him Out, You Did Your Best For Him. You Didn't Want To Hurt Him Any More.

I Felt The Comics Grew Because They Became The Common Man's Literature, The Common Man's Art, The Common Man's Publishing.

If You Think A Man Draws The Type Of Hands That You Want To Draw, Steal ‘em. Take Those Hands.
