No one blames themselves if they don't understand a cartoon, as they might with a painting or real art they simply think it's a bad cartoon.

More quotes by Chris Ware
Comics is different than writing because when you draw something you are trying to visualize it and you are trying to put yourself in that space. And when you're drawing something, all sorts of associations come up in my mind that I never would have thought of otherwise.
Chris Ware
Drawing on a computer doesn't make any sense to me. It's not intuitive.
Chris Ware
There's something very strange and wrong-seeming about drawing realistic eyeballs in comics, at least in the mode of comics where action is carried more by the movement of the characters rather than where narration links disparately framed selected images.
Chris Ware
Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.
Chris Ware
The modern world seems to make fun of people in a lot of ways.
Chris Ware
I believe that the development of language - of naming, categorization, conceptualization - destroys our ability to see as we age.
Chris Ware
Real drawing is about specifics. It's about describing an object as accurately as possible. In a comic strip you have to draw a picture of the idea of the object. You have to draw the word that you are picturing, then you have to mix in specifics with it for it to work as a story. But you are still working with drawn words.
Chris Ware
I think cartooning gets at, and re-creates on the page, some sixth sense ... in a way no other medium can.
Chris Ware
Whereas in a memory you edit things out and sort of restructure the things to seem a little bit more heroic, or to focus on particular aspects that magnify or reduce certain things.
Chris Ware
Well, there are better cartoonists now than there ever have been. I firmly believe that. There's some amazing work being done.
Chris Ware
One of the things that appealed to me most about comics was that you can pick the ones you like and build your own personal pantheon.
Chris Ware
Comic strip is almost like music on a page that you perform in your mind. It's not just pictures. There's a particular rhythm and structure to it that is unlike anything else. It literally is like music. You hear it in your mind as you read it.
Chris Ware
I guess I just don't like being physically in front of people I don't know very well, because I expect to be seen through, or, even worse, instantly hated.
Chris Ware
Every city began as a campsite - pg. 25
Chris Ware
Mostly, I was only interested in television as a kid, and the majority of reading material I collected was an adjunct to that central concern, comic books and magazines included.
Chris Ware
As a cartoonist, my single goal is to create people with whom, for better or for worse - and regardless of how embarrassing it sounds - I can fall in love and somehow feel something deeply about, and through.
Chris Ware
I prefer to imagine that my wife, a few friends, and occasionally my mom are the only ones who read what I do, though I realize that this is somewhat unrealistic.
Chris Ware
I wouldn't classify television as cool, because to me anything that involves the reader's consciousness to drive and carry a story is an active medium, and anything that sort of just pours into the eyeballs and ears is the opposite.
Chris Ware
Even the disappointing diffusion of a sheer curtain can suggest the most colorful bouquet of unspeakable secrets.
Chris Ware
My grandmother was an unparalleled storyteller who gave me a preview of how life might turn out, and also fortified my empathy.
