The more words you have at your disposal, the more precisely you can express yourself.

It's gratifying to hear that from people who care about comic art. I never know what to make of it when someone writes to say, Calvin and Hobbes is the best strip in the paper. I like it even more than Nancy.

Bill Watterson
Image
There are no restrictions of taste, approach, or subject matter. The gatekeepers are gone, so the prospect for new and different voices is exciting. Or at least it will be if anyone reads them. And it will be even more exciting if anyone pays for them. It's hard to charge admission without a gate.

For no reason I can think of, I've wandered far astray. And that is how I got to where I find myself today.
