More From Jeff Ross

There are a lot of good comics, no doubt, but as far as the quality of the comics goes, i think what you have is a bunch of situational comics - there are black comics that work only black crowds, gay comics that do only gay crowds, and southern comics that only work down south, and so on with asian, latino, indian, midgets, etc. the previous generation's comics were better because they had to make everybody laugh.
Gay Thinking Laughing
I live making comics. comics is an industrial art but less suffering, because comics are for young people who are more adventurous. i do that. i live off comics, and then i write books, but when you want movies, you cannot make movies without money.
Art Book Writing
The lovely thing about writing comics for so many years is that comics is a medium that is mistaken for a genre. it's not that there are not genres within comics, but because comics tend to be regarded as a genre in itself, content becomes secondary; as long as i was doing a comic, people would pick it up.
Writing Long People
People, they think that animation is a style. animation is just a technique. it's like, people, they think that comics is a style, like comics is a superhero story. comic is just a narration, and is a medium, you can say any kind of story in comics and you can say of any kind of story in animation.
Thinking People Superhero
To journalists my move from comics to films to best-selling novels was resembling those little evolutionary maps too much, where you see the fish, and then it can walk, and then it's an ape and then it gets up on its hind legs and finally it is a man. i didn't like that. i didn't like the fact that there was something rather amphibious about me - at least in their heads - back when i was writing comics. so i like continuing to write comics, if only because it points out that i haven't just started to walk upright or left the water.
Moving Writing Men
The magic of comics is that there are three people involved in any comic: there is whoever is writing it, and whoever is drawing it, and then there's whoever is reading it, because the really important things in comics are occurring in the panel gutters, they're occurring between panels as the person reading the comics is moving you through, is creating a film in their heads.

Ezra clapped his hands. "all right," he said. "in addition to the books we're reading as a class, i want to do an extra side project on unreliable narrators." devon arliss raised her hand. "what does that mean?" ezra strode around the room. "well, the narrator tells us the story in the book, right? but what if... the narrator isn't telling us the truth? maybe he's telling us his skewed version of the story to get you on his side. or to scare you. or maybe he's crazy!
