Comic Quotes

You can write a little and can draw a little, but there’s necessarily a limitation on both in a comic strip, since it appears in such a tiny space Picture Quote #1

I never thought Cathy would get married in the comic strip. And I also thought I would never get married in real life. So both are shocks to me Picture Quote #1

A comic strip has a rhythm and a pattern, and you got to get in and out quick. So you set up a joke, tell the joke, and done Picture Quote #1

Imagine my surprise when, after a lifetime of teaching me to keep personal things to myself, Mom insisted my drawings were the start of a comic strip for millions of people to enjoy Picture Quote #1

It seems so absurd to get really mad with a cartoonist over a comic strip. It’s sort of like getting in a fight with a circus clown outside your house. It’s not going to end well Picture Quote #1

Readers have told me that their children have learned to read after years of struggle after starting to read Garfield’s comic strip and many people who have moved to the United States have said that they, too, learned English by reading Garfield Picture Quote #1

Sometimes people try to read into my strip and find out what my state of mind is. And I can say if I’m in a good mood, generally the comic strip starts out in a good mood, but the punchline is very negative and sour Picture Quote #1

Charles Schultz is a really interesting case. He wrote that comic strip and drew it himself from beginning to end, and it’s a work of genius. It’s very simply drawn, but it has some really deep emotions that you don’t expect in a silly-looking comic strip Picture Quote #1

When I was very little, four or five, I did comic strip drawings, so my first novel had no words. I couldn’t write and thought adult handwriting was a mysterious scribble. When I was 14, my grandmother gave me a typewriter and I started writing in a different way Picture Quote #1

Taking a comic strip character is very hard to write. Because comics are meant to work in one page, to work in frames with minimalistic dialogue. And a lot of it is left to the imagination of the reader. To do that in film, you’ve got to be a little more explanatory. And that requires a good screenplay and good dialogue Picture Quote #1

I’m not good at narrative; I’m really a gag writer, and that comes from being in the newspaper comic strip world for a while in college. What I do is I just write tons of jokes, then I sort them out in terms of quality and then pick the best of the jokes and then try to form them into a plot. If I get a good theme going, I feel lucky Picture Quote #1

In Brazil we have a comic strip in the newspaper. That one also attracts a different kind of followers Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to draw a comic strip every day, you’re going to have to draw on every experience in your life Picture Quote #1

The comic strip is what I looked at, and it’s another reason I did it. The comic strip, where animals would comment on human behaviour, interested me Picture Quote #1

In a comic strip, you can suggest motion and time, but it’s very crude compared to what an animator can do. I have a real awe for good animation Picture Quote #1

In America, there’s a very long tradition of a comic strip that comes in newspapers, which is not true all over the world. To sell papers, they put color comics in Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t intending to create a comic strip to begin with. So I think I wasn’t aware that when the strip started, there had never been a woman’s voice quite like this in the newspaper Picture Quote #1

I never storyboard. I hate it. I don’t understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films Picture Quote #1

Comic strips are like a public utility. They’re supposed to be there 365 days a year, and you’re supposed to be able to hit the mark day after day Picture Quote #1

I can’t even look at daily comic strips. And I hate sitcoms because they don’t seem like real people to me: they’re props that often say horrible things to each other, which I don’t find funny. I have to feel like they’re real people Picture Quote #1

I always think of Popeye and Barney Google as quintessential comic strips in that old rollicky, slapstick way we’ve sort of lost Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of comic strips in Brazilian newspapers that have been around for 30, almost 40 years. They are very famous in Brazil Picture Quote #1

Coming up through the ranks of any calling can be rough, but that battered soul who survives the early years of courting the comic muse comes close to knowing what only the soldier knows: What combat is like Picture Quote #1

I wanted to make an explicitly educational comic that taught readers the concepts I covered in my introductory programming class. That’s what ‘Secret Coders’ is. It’s both a fun story about a group of tweens who discover a secret coding school, and an explanation of some foundational ideas in computer science Picture Quote #1

On a shelf above my computer are five letters that spell out W-R-I-T-E. Just in case I forget why I’m there. I also have ‘Wonder Woman’ paraphernalia from when I wrote five issues of the comic, and pictures of my husband and kids Picture Quote #1

Artists forget than the first purpose of a comic character is to convey emotion. Everything else, like realism, or other kinds of virtuosity, is an optional extra. If you sacrifice expression for the sake of other concerns, you’re putting the cart before the horse Picture Quote #1

When I was 11 years old, I thought, ‘All I really wanna be able to do is my own comic book,’ and I’m doing it. I don’t have any other real ambitions. I have nothing to conquer at all Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’ve ever made any conscious decision to be a comic artist, but to me there’s something quite anarchic about comedy Picture Quote #1

We’re sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers. He’s a guy that wants to serve his country, but he’s not a flag-waver. We’re reinterpreting, sort of, what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was Picture Quote #1

Cartoonists create so many cartoons on any given topic that we can follow the life cycle of a comic idea and how it evolves over time more quickly than we can with a form like the novel Picture Quote #1
