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.

I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance, any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it.

I don't consider my own clothing to be outrageous... The truth is that people just don't have the same references that I do. To me it's very beautiful and it's art, and to them it's outrageous and crazy.

Most men appear never to have considered what a house is, and are actually though needlessly por all their lives because they think that they must have such a one as their neighbors have. As if one were to wear any sort of coat which the tailor might cut out for him, or gradually leaving off palm-leaf hat or cap of woodchuck skin, complain of hard times because he could not afford to buy him a crown! It is possible to invent a house still more convenient and luxurious than we have, which yet all would admit that man could not afford to pay for. Shall we always study to obtain more of these things, and not sometimes be content with less?
