Summary
This quote reflects the misconception that everything portrayed in comic strips is derived from the personal life experiences of the creator. The speaker acknowledges the tendency of people to assume that the content or situations depicted in the strips are directly linked to the artist's own life. However, the quote highlights the fact that this assumption is false, suggesting that the artist's imagination and creativity are responsible for the events and narratives portrayed in their work, rather than being strictly autobiographical.
