From Lynda Barry

From Lynda Barry

In my writing class, we never, ever talk about the writing - ever. We never address a story that's been read. I also won't let anyone look at the person who's reading.

From Lynda Barry

I found myself compelled - like this weird, shameful compulsion - to draw cute animals.
