I’m A False Icon! The Media Collaborate

It's Always Interesting To See What The Real Enthusiasts Think, But They're Rarely Representative Of The Tastes Of The Wider Audience, So I Tend To Write For Myself, For An Imagined Smart 14-year-old, And For A Couple Of Friends Who Are Still Big Comics Fans.

I Write Constantly, So It Flows From One Project To The Next, And I Would Edit Everything Endlessly If I Had The Chance. I Can Always See Ways To Improve What I've Done. At The Same Time, Knowing It's All An Ongoing Life's Work Allows Me To Be Less Precious About Blind Alleys, Failed Experiments, And Misfires.

Oh, Yes! Fill The Churches With Dirty Thoughts! Introduce Honesty To The White House! Write Letters In Dead Languages To People You've Never Met! Paint Filthy Words On The Foreheads Of Children! Burn Your Credit Cards And Wear High Heels! Asylum Doors Stand Open! Fill The Suburbs With Murder And Rape! Divine Madness! Let There Be Ecstasy, Ecstasy In The Streets! Laugh And The World Laughs With You!

Imagine The Earth’s Population Of Six Billion People Reduced To Just One Hundred Representatives. Statistically, That Makes 30 White, 70 Non-white. It Means 6 People Own 59% Of The Wealth And They All Live In North America. 80 Are In Substandard Housing. One Has An Education. One Owns A Computer. Don’t Blame Me If It All Sounds Crazy.
