There Are Certain Comics That Just Seem

I Think A Comic Looks Better In The Magazine. The Colors Are Designed To Be On Paper, Not Illuminated On Screen. I Don't Like The Aspect Of People Reading It For Free. When People Get Things For Free, They Tend To Not Take Them As Seriously. But I Don't Know. I'm Sure 10 Times More People Are Reading It Online Than In The Actual Paper.

I Enjoy The Opportunity To Use Swear Symbols. The Reader Reads Into Them Something Worse Than What You Normally Would Have. They Work As This Outburst Of Incoherent Anger. I've Found Ways To Write Around Swearing That Are Much More Effective, Rather Than Going For What Someone Really Would Say.

I Have This Certain Vision Of The Way I Want My Comics To Look; This Sort Of Photographic Realism, But With A Certain Abstraction That Comics Can Give. It's Kind Of A Fine Line.

I Think I'm Gonna Attach Myself To The Sinking Ship That Is Book Publishing.

The Greatest Moment Of My Life Was, Somebody Sent Me A Cable-access Show From Chicago That Had Joey Ramone On It Showing The Video We Made Together. And He Was Talking About, Like, "this Guy Dan Clowes Postponed His Wedding For Us. He's A Great Guy."
