I still can't get over the idea that respectable adults now go to see superhero movies and that such films get reviewed in the 'New Yorker.' Clearly, I am seriously out of step with the times. Chris Ware adultfilmidea Change image and share on social

Ragtime has about the same amount of respect as comics. And in a way they're similar art forms. Ragtime is highly compositional, and the emotion in the music is built in, whereas in jazz a lot of that emotion comes from the way it's performed. Chris Ware amountartbuild share on social

One of the things that appealed to me most about comics was that you can pick the ones you like and build your own personal pantheon. Chris Ware appealbuildcomic Change image and share on social
