The Questions Have Been Terrific
I did the stories and I did the illustrations
Sometimes, they would send us scripts
But I'd throw them out the window
I happen to be a guy who
Does what he wants
Lives the way he wants to
I love people in general
Even the villains in my comics
To me, are people
There is something in their lives
That makes them become a problem to others
That's how I saw everybody
Whatever I put in my comics
I hopefully feel that this love of people may have been transmitted to them
And help them, and not help them in any way, I'm not a psychiatrist, but
Just giving them another friend

My characters never die
It's my own view towards humanity itself
We never really die
You live on in your son, or you live on in somebody else
I don't know the answer but
Somehow I
I feel that our lives are endless
The source
The source
The source
The source
The source, like everything else, is an everyday fact
The source lives with us day by day
We don't know what the source is
Where it is
We can't identify its form
But we know it's there
This thing
This tremendous thing
Governs our lives
And somehow
We can all feel it inside
It's referred to as spiritual
Tt's referred to in many other ways
But we know instinctively
That it's there
And that's what I put down in my stories
Because, like everybody else
I felt this thing
I felt this thing
And I felt that it was real
And I've kept it with me all my life
Now, I didn't resolve the questions
I'm a guy who lives with a lot of questions
I say, what's out there?
And I try to resolve that
And I never can
I don't think anybody can
Who's got the answers?
I sure would like to hear the ultimate one
But I haven't yet
And so, I live with a lot of questions, and I find that entertaining
I find that entertaining
And if my life were to end tomorrow
It would be fulfilled in that manner
I would say, the questions have been terrific
