Sure. Williams: The possibilities are endless. Seth: Personally, I think it’s a more exciting medium than painting, because so many people get to see your work, as opposed to just a gallery show. Unless you’re a huge painter, world famous. Otherwise, you’re getting only a few hundred people to see your work, when in comics, even in a worst case scenario, you’re getting a thousand or two. Williams: Yeah. Does that feedback help you grow as an artist? Do you do things in stories, then people point it out?

When I get Peepshow and take it home it’s the first thing I read out of the whole stack because his stories are so gripping. I’m like that with Uncle Scrooge too. d y l a n w i l l i a m s / 1 9 9 5 25 Seth: You’re right. It does have a real natural storytelling slant. It’s not tricky.

Seth: That was a plan on how to get out of comics, so I could do my own comic. When I left Mister X . . I had a friend Maurice Vellekoop . . you’ve probably seen his work in Drawn & Quarterly [comics anthology published from 1990–92 by Drawn & Quarterly], well, he’s a big illustrator, and I could see he was making a lot of money. I thought to myself, there’s no way I could work on Mister X, for example, and do a comic book of my own on the side. It’s just too much work. But I thought if I did illustration, I could make more money for less work, and still manage to get my comic book out on the side.
