"Supongo que ahora trabajo en una tradición que no existe. Algo como grandes cómics literarios cinemáticos, o como quieras llamarlo. Eso es lo que yo y los demás estamos haciendo, creo. Pero no existía antes. En realidad no. Así que tuvimos que crearlo. Sin un aerógrafo".Daniel Clowes, entrevistado hoy en el Chicago Tribune (vía Journalista!)

jojo, sin aerógrafo, dice el tío.
"Wilson" was started while Clowes was sitting at his father's side in a Chicago hospital, reading a biography of Charles Schulz. His father loved "Peanuts," and Clowes began to wonder what Charlie Brown, the quintessential Midwest misanthrope, would have been "if he'd gotten worse and worse." Which led to the realization that his work "wasn't strictly influenced by the comics I grew up with, comic strips and books. When I drew I would often have some classic comic open on the table beside me for inspiration. For each new comic I would do this. Then I stopped when I recognized that what was more inspiring was the idea of creating a history of comics that never existed. What if (older comics) had had John Fords and Alfred Hitchcocks?
"What if the ambitions were at a much higher level?

Curioso. La parte que va justo antes me parece mas significativa, y errónea. Los directores que menciona hicieron sobre todo productos de genero y no tuvieron pretensiones intelectualizantes. Los comics han tenido sus Hitchcocks y Fords, si nos ponemos en paralelos cinematograficos a Clowes y demás se les podría poner como la Neouvelle Vague o como Jarmush y el grupo de directores indies de los 80
