Design Is Important Because Chaos Is So

My Success Was The Shock Of Recognition, Probably, Rather Than The Quality Of The Work. I Mean, The Quality May Have Been Fine, But There's A Lot Of Fine Work Out There. It Was The Fact That I Was Doing Something That At That Time, Nobody Else Was Doing, Except For Say, Mort Saul Out In San Francisco On The Hungry Eye, And "second City" Was Emerging Out In Chicago. Nothing In Print. It Was Basically Happening In Cabaret And Nothing In Fiction. And Certainly Nothing In New York In Cartoons.

When People Started Reading Me And Talking To Me About The Work, They Didn't Say How Funny, Or How Satiric, Or How Brilliant, Or How This Or How That, They Said, How'd You Get Away With It? How'd You Get That Into Print?

I Found It Was My Good Fortune To Somehow Be Able To Work In These Forms That I Loved When I Was A Kid. I Love Movies And I Could Write Screenplays. I Love Theater And I Could Write Plays. I Mean, They Would Be My Own, I Could Never Write What Was Used To Be Called The Well-made Play. But My First Play, "little Murders," Turned Out To Be A Great Success And A Great Influence On Plays At That Time.

I'm Well Beyond Dyslexic: I Have No Sense Of Direction; I Never Know Where I Am.

Good Swiping Is An Art In Itself.
