But I read comic books. I read things like Richie Rich and Little Lulu.
Alison Bechdel
Autobiographical comics, I love them. I love them.

I'm not that good of a drawer. I don't know how people just draw stuff out of their head. I'm always creating schemes. If I have to draw someone sitting in a chair, I have to go find a chair, sit in it, and take a picture of myself sitting in it.

Alison Bechdel
Well, I'm always working on my comic strip and trying to, you know, keep cranking that out.
Alison Bechdel
Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.
Alison Bechdel
It's a hard thing to age a character because you can't really suddenly give someone gray hair.
Alison Bechdel
I don't know, maybe it's because I was raised Catholic. Confession has always held a great appeal for me.
Alison Bechdel
Yeah, I read Judy Blume. My mother didn't like that, but I read it anyhow.
Alison Bechdel
I wish I had a typical workday. I struggle to get up at seven and almost always fail. I just try to get to my office as soon as I can, but it's always later than I would like.
Alison Bechdel
