When You're As Important As I Am,

You Know, I've Been Thinking. Everyone Makes Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwiches But Usually The Jelly Drips Out All Over The Side And The Guy's Hands Get All Sticky. But Your Jelly Stays Right In The Middle Where It's Supposed To. I Don't Know How You Do It? You Just Got A Gift, I Guess. I've Always Thought So. I've Just Never Mentioned It. But It's Time You Knew How I Feel. I Don't Believe In Keeping Feelings Bottled Up. Goodbye, My Wife.

I Always Thought That Television Was The Way To Go In My Goal To Invade Pop Culture Because It Got To Towns In Which There Were No Bookstores. That's How I Used To Think Of It: How Do I Reach Kids Who Not Only Don't Read But Probably Have No Access To Much In The Way Of Books?

Basically, Everything I Try To Do Is To Present An Alternative To What Somebody Else Is Doing.

I Grew Up Completely Overwhelmed By Tv, And Part Of The Reason Why I Have Gone Into Television Is As A Way To Justify To Myself All Those Wasted Hours Of Watching Tv As A Kid. I Can Now Look Back And Say, 'oh, That Was Research.'

I Think In Daily Newspapers, The Way Comic Strips Are Treated, It's As If Newspaper Publishers Are Going Out Of Their Way To Kill The Medium. They're Printing The Comics So Small That Most Strips Are Just Talking Heads, And If You Look Back At The Glory Days Of Comic Strips, You Can See That They Were Showcases For Some Of The Best Pop Art Ever To Come Out.
