Zitat des Tages von Ben Katchor:
The publishing industry has always wanted to make books as cheaply and as ephemerally as they could; it's nothing new.
A picture story just doesn't run like a film. It doesn't have 24 frames per second. It doesn't deal with this illusion of movement.
I live in an apartment building built in 1925, and it hasn't been heavily renovated, so I feel very much connected to that time and what went on in that place.
I'm very interested in music and where these sounds of Western music come from.
As a small kid, I came across things like these early Edward Gorey books in department-store bookstores. These were these really unusual objects to me. I didn't know how they fit into the comic world or into newspaper comics.
