The Doctor: I think you'll find, Sir, that I'm qualified to deal with practically everything, if I choose.

A Doctor recently had a patient "drop" in on him for an unscheduled appointment. "What can I do for you today?" the Doctor asked. The aged Gentleman replied: "Doctor, you must help me. Every time I make love to my wife, my eyes get all bleary, my legs go weak, I can hardly catch my breath.... Doctor, I'm scarred!"

The Doctor, looking at his 86 year old patient, said: "Mr. Smith, these sensations tend to happen over time, especially to a man of your advanced years, but tell me, when did you first notice these symptoms?" The old gent's response was: "Well... three times last night, and twice again this morning!"

Little Johnny and Susie were only 10 years old, but they just knew that they were in love. One day they decided that they wanted to get married, so Johnny went to Susie's father to ask him for her hand. Johnny bravely walked up to him and said "Mr. Smith, me and Susie are in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage."

Thinking that this was the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replied, "Well Johnny, you are only 10. Where will you two live?" Without even taking a moment to think about it, Johnny replied "In Susie's room. It's bigger than mine and we can both fit there nicely."

Still thinking this is just adorable, Mr. Smith said with a huge grin, "Okay then how will you live? You're not old enough to get a job. You'll need to support Susie." Again, Johnny instantly replied, "Our allowance...Susie makes 5 bucks a week and I make 10 bucks a week. That's about 60 bucks a month, and that'll do us just fine." By this time Mr. Smith was a little shocked that Johnny had put so much thought into this. So, he thought for a moment trying to come up with something that Johnny wouldn't have an answer for. After a second, Mr. Smith said, "Well Johnny, it seems like you have got everything all figured out. I just have one more question for you. What will you do if the two of you should have little ones of your own?"

Johnny just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, we've been lucky so far...."

The measure of artistic merit is the length to which a writer is willing to go in following his own compulsions.
- John Updike

Follow the path of your aroused thought, and you will soon meet this infernal inscription: There is nothing so beautiful as that which does not exist.
- Paul Valery


There is no satisfactory explanation of style, no infallible guide to good writing, no assurance that a person who thinks clearly will be able to write clearly, no key that unlocks the door, no inflexible rules by which the young writer may steer his course. He will often find himself steering by stars that are disturbingly in motion.

Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything.
- Ivana Trump, upon finishing her first novel

An essential element for good writing is a good ear: One must listen to the sound of one's own prose.
- Barbara Tuchman

I never started from ideas but always from character.

John Byrne was born in West Bromwich, West Midlands, England where
along with his parents (Frank and Nelsie) he lived with his
maternal grandmother.[1] While living there, he was first exposed
to the American superheroes that would dominate his professional
life through reruns of American programs such as The Adventures
of Superman. In Britain, he was able to read domestic comics such
as Eagle as well as reprints of DC Comics.[2] When he was eight
years old he left England with his parents and moved to Canada.
According to Byrne himself, he was not an academically gifted
student.

On the request of editor Mark Gruenwald, Byrne wrote and drew a
new series in 1989, The Sensational She-Hulk (maintaining the
1985 graphic novel’s title). Gruenwald directed that it be
significantly different from the character’s 1970s series, T
he Savage She-Hulk. Byrne’s take was comedic and the She-
Hulk, who was aware she was in a comic book, regularly broke the
fourth wall, developing a love-hate relationship with her artist
/writer by criticizing his storylines, drawing style, character
development etc. Byrne left the book after writing and drawing
the first eight issues. Byrne was asked for input on writer
Dwayne McDuffie’s She-Hulk: Ceremony graphic novel, and according
to Byrne, most of his objections to the story and notations of
errors were ignored, and his editor, Bobbie Chase, “was rewriting
my stuff to bring it into line with” the story in Ceremony. Upon
complaining to DeFalco, Byrne says he was fired from his series.
[13] He later returned to write and draw issues #31–50 under new
editor Renée Witterstaetter.
