Alison Bechdel
I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to comics history.
Alison Bechdel
Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.
Alison Bechdel
Well, I'm always working on my comic strip and trying to, you know, keep cranking that out.
Alison Bechdel
I don't know how anyone gets anything done in New York City. I vastly prefer living in the country. I just need a lot of quiet and solitude, and I'm so easily distracted. I mean, the Internet is enough to deal with.
Alison Bechdel
Watching everyone root through their psyche, it just delights me. Especially R. Crumb's stuff.
Alison Bechdel
I tend to write first thing, and then do my drawing later. I like to draw at night. But often I go for long stretches without drawing, because I'm trying to figure out what I'm writing.
