I think that the so-called average person often exhibits a great deal of heroism in getting through an ordinary day . . .

Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.

I'm sure someone out there has a workable solution. But what do I know? I make comic books and write about jazz. I do know the difference between right and wrong, though.

I met Robert Crumb in 1962; he lived in Cleveland for a while. I took a look at his stuff. Crumb was doing stuff beyond what other writers and artists were doing. It was a step beyond Mad.

I'd been familiar with comics, and I'd collected 'em when I was a kid, but after I got into junior high school, there wasn't much I was interested in

I really don't have a lot in common with the people who attend the Comic Con. It's like assuming that all people who write prose are the same.

Comics are words and pictures. You can do anything with words and pictures.

Since about 1980 Kenny Werner has been one of jazz’s unsung heroes

Am I a guy who writes about himself in a comic book, or am I just a character in that book? If I die, will that character keep going, or will he just fade away?

Life is about women, gigs, an' bein' creative.

I realize that I'm pretty flawed, but you know - I haven't killed anybody yet.

In seeking wisdom thou art wise

I will not give up my dream for someone's dream.

...the more we learn, the more we realize how much we don't know.

We all have a past that may be worthy of some criticism".~R. Alan Woods [2012]

Mindset and attitude are so tightly intertwined they almost mean the same thing!

The nobly born must nobly meet his fate.

Human beings exercise responsibilities within a social setting and a framework of obligations which transcend the principle of intelligence.

Hey, that's life, flick it off if you can't take a joke.

I just listen to quite random songs; I don't like really particular artists or bands.

O woman-country! wooed not wed, Loved all the more by earth's male-lands, Laid to their hearts instead.
