Nothing is really media driven or committee driven, so you can actually just produce something.

But with comics you're reading and assimilating an image simultaneously, instead of just reading or watching the tube.

So, when the special effects are at the service of the story and draw you into it, that is really the magic.

If somebody can inspire me, it feels really special.

Like Godfather, you look at a movie like that, or something that James Gray has directed, a film with minimal or pin lighting as opposed to everything being lit bright and flat, where everything is evident.

So cartooning, for me, is an honorable thing. It's pushing the envelope. It's the truth of something through exaggeration.
