Hey Kids, While You're Out

Yeah, I Was A Child Of American Popular Culture.

I Still Can't Spend A Lot Of Money On Records At Collector Prices. There's Something In Me That Just Won't Allow Me To Do That. But I Will Trade My Artwork, Which I Know Is Worth Thousands Of Dollars.

I Felt So Painfully Isolated That I Vowed I Would Get Revenge On The World By Becoming A Famous Cartoonist.

As A Kid Growing Up In The 1950s I Became Acutely Aware Of The Changes Taking Place In American Culture And I Must Say I Didn't Much Like It. I Witnessed The Debasement Of Architecture, And I Could See A Decline In The Quality Of Things Like Comic Books And Toys, Things Made For Kids. Old Things Seemed To Have More Life, More Substance, More Humanity In Them.

I Knew I Was Weird By The Time I Was Four. I Knew I Wasn't Like Other Boys. I Knew I Was More Fearful. I Didn't Like The Rough And Tumble Most Boys Were Into. I Knew I Was A Sissy.
