Getting by with a little help from his friends…

I think that there’s a perception among fans that comic creators tend to feud with one another. This is, of course, not true. You don’t hear about the hundreds of pros who get along fine with one another on a daily basis for the same reason you don’t hear about the thousands of commercial air flights that land safely every day. You just hear about the ones that crash and burn.

Not to sound too egocentric, but sometimes I think this column has contributed to that perception.
