ballard-1960s

January 14, 2025

Thought:

“We were talking about war in my most recent panel, how easy it is and how dramatic it is. The same thing can be said about evil. A lot of people have the notion that evil is interesting and basically fun, and that good is dull and no fun, and I don’t think that’s true. If anything, the reverse is true, and I wanted to have a shot at proving that I was right.”
