Famous quotes containing the words big, comic and/or strips:
“It does make a big difference, it is why Robin Hood lives,
crime if you know the reason if you know the motive
if you can understand the character if it is not a

everybody has to take notice of it. It is important
in that way but in every other way it is not
important.”

—William G. McCollom (b. 1911)
“We should declare war on North Vietnam.... We could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas.”
