Lynda Barry
At the center of everything we call 'the arts,' and children call 'play,' is something which seems somehow alive.
Lynda Barry

Lynda Barry
Cartoonist was the weirdest name I finally let myself have. I would never say it. When I heard it I silently thought, what an awful word.
Lynda Barry
No matter what, expect the unexpected. And whenever possible BE the unexpected.
Lynda Barry
You know that great car-stomach feeling when you fly over a hump? That was my whole body.
Lynda Barry
For horror movies, color is reassuring because, at least in older films, it adds to the fakey-ness.
Lynda Barry
