Comics is a language. It's a language most people understand intuitively.

I went to an art school in Brooklyn and painted Fine Art, if that's what you'd call it for eight years in New York, until I saw the first underground comics in the East Village Other.

When the Zippy movie first started being talked about very rarely would people actually say animation to me, because I would never consider it.
