Chast: I think it?s really different from the way it was 30 years ago. For one thing, there?s the rise of the graphic novel?which was there before?but now it has its own section in the book store. I think people take it a little bit more seriously. Not in a bad way, not like some academic analyzing every panel or text. I just mean it?s more viable. And it is such a great art form. You can be a newspaper cartoonist if that?s what you want to be, or you can be a magazine cartoonist. Still. Sort of. You can do comic books. You can do superheroes. I cannot stand superheroes. I do not understand any of its appeal. It has just bored me to death since I was a little kid. I remember buying a couple of superhero comic books and trying to get into them. And I just remember thinking, ?Who gives a shit?? This is some of the most boring stuff I?ve ever read. I mean it?s not funny, it?s tedious. I don?t even like looking at these drawings. I just don?t even care. I just really love the cartoon form. I love the plasticity of it. I just think of Ben Katchor and Jules Feiffer and Clay Wilson, Alison Bechdel. She?s amazing. She?s really great. Daniel Clowes. There?s just so many amazing great people.
