My dear, beautiful and imaginative things can be destroyed. Beauty and imagination cannot.

Consciousness, unprovable by scientific standards, is forever, then, the impossible phantom in the predictable biologic machine, and your every thought a genuine supernatural event. Your every thought is a ghost, dancing.

I try to do things in comics that cannot be repeated by television, by movies, by interactive entertainment.
